...just five minutes spent in nature can improve people’s sense of self-esteem and mood.

J Barton and J Pretty, Environmental Science and Technology, 2010

We have lots of opportunities for young people and families to connect with nature, with events and activities for all ages.

Our Activity Centres provide wonderful natural settings with dedicated teams leading engaging ways for families to enjoy the outdoors. These include bug hunts, pond dipping, den building, insect days and night adventures looking for bats, glow worms and magnificent moths.

Our Wildlife Watch Club is the junior branch of the Wildlife Trusts and features regular group activities.
