Wellbeing in Nature at Walkmill Community Woodland

  • Moresby Rugby Union Club Moresby Parks CA28 8XW (map)

Spending time outdoors and helping to nurture and conserve nature can have many benefits, including helping to reduce stress and anxiety, improving physical health, reducing loneliness and allowing people to feel connected to nature.

As part of the Wilder Walkmill project we are encouraging people to spend some time outside in the woodland with us. We will be running regular Wellbeing in Nature sessions throughout the year where we will be doing a variety of activities including seed harvesting and planting, fire lighting, cooking, woodwork and arts & crafts, to name just a few.


When: Tue 18 February, 10am-12pm

Where: Walkmill Community Woodland (meet at Moresby Rugby Union Club)

What: We will go for a gentle walk around the woodland looking at the different trees and learning how to identify them in winter. We will then look at identifying willow and harvest a willow peg each, which you will be able to take home and grow in to a willow tree. 

Research shows that just being in nature for just 2 hours per week can have a significant benefit to our health.

Who: Suitable for all abilities, no experience is necessary and we will provide all the tools and materials.

Notes: Please ensure you wear clothing and footwear suitable for the weather and for an outdoor setting. Sturdy footwear is advised. Participants must be 18+

Thanks to our funders: National Lottery Heritage Fund, Sellafield Ltd SiX - Social Multiplied Impact Programme and supported by The Environment Agency.

This event is free, but you need to book a place
