Yes, these sessions are designed for people to be able to come along themselves and you will be met with a warm smile and friendly faces when you arrive.

That’s ok, each session is led by a trained Forest and Outdoor Woodland Leader, who is PVG checked and used to working in public greenspaces with people who have little experience of being outdoors or in natural environments.

We will do our best to put you at ease on the day, but if you have any more questions or want to chat about it drop us a message.

The benefits of being outside are widely documented but here’s some the benefits we get when we lead these sessions:

• Deeper sleep the night after being on a session

• Regulated nervous systems - feeling relaxed

• Increased confidence 

• Increased positive self-esteem and sense of achievement

• Increased mobility

• Increased sense of connection to people and nature

• Increased understanding of natural world, seasonal and climate change

• Reduced desire to be on screens

• Reduced unhelpful thoughts

• Relaxed muscles

• Reduced worry

We are sorry that the location we use is not accessible for wheelchairs at this time due to storm damage and path degradation.

No, there are no toilets at the location, please go before you come and be prepared to do a wild wee if you need one.

We love dogs but not everyone does. To avoid the chance that your dog is on a session with someone who has a fear of dogs - please ask before booking. 

The site we visit is a wildlife sanctuary (we’ve seen a few different animals born there), so if your dog comes along, they’ll need to be kept on a lead. 

Here are a few things we’d ask you to agree to before you come:

• No picking, harvesting, cutting or destroying of plants, trees or animals unless as part of a planned activity by the leader.

• You don’t have to be friends with everyone but please be friendly.

• Give people space if you doubt they want to interact - sometimes people struggle to communicate. 

• If you need space, please be clear and tell the leader you’re taking it.

• No alcohol or drugs 

• Don’t be a dick
