The craft fair sounds interesting but I really wouldn't be keen on paintballing, I could see me getting too many complaints from the neighbors, any more ideas??

Once you've got a management plan drawn up it might be worth getting in touch with local training providers about having it as a venue for certain courses. If it's an old woodland, especially oak, there'd be plenty of deadwood for climbers to have to deal with.

I also agree with the crafty type idea (Not that I'm biased toward that sort of thing of course ) Bushcraft and that sort of thing are getting more and more popular, so may as well cash in.

You could try getting in touch with local schools to see if they're involved in the forest school scheme, if so they might be interested in using the site. Local wildlife trusts might be interested in using the site to monitor certain types of wildlife, you never know there might be some funding available for promoting certain habitats within the area, ie nestboxes. We have an entomologist use the site I work on for bat and moth evenings, where the public can come along certain evenings, help set up moth traps and then study what they catch, as well as using bat detectors to see what bats are about.

 

Apologies for how confused this reply is, I was just listing things as they came into my head
