Nature can do wonders for the mind and body. Especially with our range of weekly activities; from simple nature walks, environmentally friendly gardening to wildlife surveys and creative workshops. See how wildness can help your wellness.
Our friendly and welcoming group can help you to build your confidence, meet people locally, discover different interests, practice mindfulness, learn new skills, and give back to your local community.
