You may not be able to take the family on a woodland trail right now, but that doesn't mean little ones should miss out.

Forestry England, which runs Bedgebury Pinetum in Goudhurst and Jeskyns Community Woodland in Gravesend which are currently closed, is instead offering free children's activity sheets featuring The Gruffalo, Zog, the Highway Rat and James and the Giant Peach.
