Lumberjill Sculpture
Highlight • Structure
This sculpture commemorates the role of women who worked in Britain’s forest during WW2. They were known as "lumberjills" and there were over 9,000 of them. They were recruited from all over the UK and sent to forests where they carried out felling and crosscutting trees by hand, among other very heavy physical jobs.

Friends of Dalby Forest Bench
Highlight • Forest
A wooden bench is always great to come upon in a forest, where you can rest to enjoy the peace and quiet away from it all. This one has been put here and presented by the Friends of Dalby Forest, a volunteer organisation working to better the facilities for the visitors to the Forest and to do forestry-related projects.

A small, lovely area of grassland on the border of Dalby Forest. This nature reserve - particularly in June and July - teems with wildflowers, and the beautiful green slopes here only add to its charm.
