RURAL REBRANDING:

Thetford forest

The main function of forests in Europe has been wood production 

Thetford forest covers 7,900 ha

largest man-made lowland forest in England

Estimation of 2million visitors a year

Top visitor destinations in the east of England

 

High Lodge Forest Centre has 300,000 visitors in 2006

The park has a range of activities: 

  • Giant maze

  • Deer safaris

  • Outdoor concerts

  • Watercolour painting

  • Giant play sculpture trail 

  • Willow weaving

 

One of the pressures on Thetford forest is being degraded ecologically and physically due to high recreational use.

This would affect the environment and landscape
