The WICKED project (Woodland Initiatives - a Catalyst for Kids' Education & Development), is an innovative 3-year pilot project which develops woodland initiatives for disengaged and socially disadvantaged young people, aged 11 to 19 years, who live in the rural counties of Ceredigion, Powys, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. The project promotes the Welsh woodland resource as a venue for young people's education and skill development.

A recent edition of the BBC Radio 4 programme - Open Country - was devoted entirely to young carers who are taking part in the WICKED project.

The programme reported on the day-to-day life of young carers and their families, and how the woodland-based WICKED project activities offered a therapeutic respite from their caring roles.
