The Wildlife Trust's Nature Girls

The Wildlife Trust’s Nature Girls is an inclusive group designed for all women (and is LGBTQIA+ friendly) who love nature and the outdoors to meet like minded people, whilst enjoying time in nature.

The group was formed in 2024, initially focused in Northamptonshire, and has been a huge success. Exploring nature reserves alone can be incredibly daunting as a woman, and often the anxiety surrounding being unsafe can create barriers for women enjoying the outdoors the way they’d like to. We wanted to break down those barriers and have created a safe space for women to enjoy nature and the outdoors, where they can also meet like minded people and form new friendships - we know how difficult this can be too! 

We host regular events which involve a range of activities for you to take part in – these could be a walk around a nature reserve, crafts or wildlife activities such as yoga, pond dipping, bat detecting and more! We have had a great couple of years watching a wonderful community grow in Northamptonshire, and we are now expanding to include events in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

As well as our events, we also have an online community on Facebook & Whatsapp, where you can connect with fellow Nature Girls, share all things wildlife, and arrange your own meet ups too.
