ImageBirches Valley Forest Centre is situated within Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).  It is located amongst a wide variety of landscapes including mature trees, forest glades, heathland and the magnificent Fairoak pools.

 

NEW!

Together with our popular Hideaway Classroom, The Forestry Commission at Cannock Chase now has a brand new Environmental Education centre at Birches Valley.  This exciting new building, funded by Cemex Ltd,  consists of 2 large classrooms designed to use as much natural light as possible and is heated by wood pellet stoves and roofed in sedum. It is the first of its kind, built entirely with FSC timber and provides sustainable features throughout.

 

Birches Valley Cafe is also open offering a wide variety of food and drinks. 

 

Goody bags can be ordered in advance for school groups.
