Forestry Photography Schools Competitions

Forestry themed photography competitions for both primary and secondary aged school children.

Adventures in the Forest – Primary

We invite you to share your finest photographs showcasing woodland exploration and outdoor learning. We seek images capturing the essence of forest adventures—be it constructing shelters, navigating fallen timber, creating natural art, gathering for storytelling, exploring woodland streams, or discovering wildlife tracks. We would be delighted to see how you experience our magnificent woodlands and how these natural environments serve as extraordinary spaces for discovery and recreation.

Wood in the World Around Us – Secondary

We invite you to capture how wood, a vital natural resource, has influenced Welsh life through the centuries. Photograph timber in all its forms—from traditional framed buildings and bridges to contemporary furniture, fencing and artistic creations. Your images might showcase intricate carved doorways, historic barn beams, or sustainable forestry practices. Your challenge is to reveal the beauty, durability and versatility of Welsh wood through your lens.
