Cannock Forest has a brand new education centre.  We have a wall in one of the classrooms ready and waiting for a display.

To take part in our competion we are asking children aged 5 - 11yrs to design a poster showing what the forest means to you.  It could be taking your dog for a walk, cycling through the forest with friends, a picture of forest animals such as a deer or a fox......it's up to you.

All you have to do is email your picture to competition  or send it to:

The Education Team, Birches Valley Forest Centre, Cannock Chase, Rugeley, WS15 2UQ

The lucky winner will have his/her picture made in to a display at the Brand New Education Centre at Cannock Chase for more than 12,000 children to see every year.  You will also have the opportunity to visit us and see for yourself your picture up on the wall.

Closing date:  August 1st 2008
