Apart from the winner’s prize, there was a request for a ‘wooden spoon’ prize, also!

June Wellbeing Wander
Friday 20th June 2025 | 2pm-3pm
Join us on a nature-based wellbeing walk around the reserve.
Having a sense of place and connectedness, being grounded is important for our general wellbeing and mental health. This is an invitation to pause and explore what being in nature can offer you.
Enjoy an afternoon of wellbeing starting with some mind awareness followed by a gentle walk where you get to listen, smell and watch what is around you and connect with any feelings which arise.
Bookings close 19th June.
