Public Awareness Safety Film

Forests are wonderful places to walk, cycle, and explore, but they're also working environments where heavy machinery is used and tree-felling operations take place.

This short video highlights the key risks to be aware of and the simple actions you can take to stay safe as a visitor to the forest. Please take a few minutes to watch, and always follow any signage or guidance you see on site.
