Where has the year gone? Autumn is on its way! 🍂

If you are visiting Wyre Forest this Autumn you may come across some signs asking you to stay out of certain areas from now until the end of October. This doesn’t affect any of our waymarked trails or public rights of way.

This is to give our fallow deer space for their annual rut.

Rutting season takes place in late September and October and sees rival males battle for the right to mate with the females. This is an important time for the deer, and it is important they are not disturbed.

If you do come across any deer, make sure you give them plenty of space and keep your dogs on a lead and under close control.

Planning a school visit to Wyre Forest this term (or know somebody who might be)?
We love welcoming schools to Wyre and helping young people connect with the forest.
To help us provide the best possible experience for everyone, all school and educational group visits must be pre-booked by contacting our local team before you arrive.
Why is booking so important?
🥪Cafe planning
The cafe team can only roster appropriate staffing levels if they know large groups are coming. Unexpected school visits can put significant pressure on the cafe and affect service for all visitors.
🚽Toilet facilities
Knowing about school visits in advance allows us to schedule additional cleaning where needed. If we aren't aware of your visit, facilities may not receive the extra cleaning they require.
🚌Coach parking
Coach parking space is limited. During busy periods, multiple coaches may already be booked onto site, so advance notice helps us manage parking safely and efficiently.
ℹ️Important visitor information
When you book, we can provide information before your visit, including our site code of conduct, details about facilities, advice on lunch arrangements, and the opportunity to arrange an introductory talk from our team.
💚Supporting all visitors
Advance planning helps us manage busy periods and minimise the impact on other visitors enjoying the site.
