Community Nature Wellbeing Activities

We have amazing opportunity for people who love the outdoors … Outdoor Adventures on privately owned land in the Derbyshire Dales where you’ll be able to enjoy fun activities and games, camping and barbeques or simply find a space to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Derbyshire is blessed with an idyllic countryside. So join us to sample the delights that are on our doorstep.

Activities are open to all ages and will include…

An introductory tour and walk around the site

Bushcraft

Including fire lighting/ tree and bird identification/ a walk around the site plus an intro to foraging – wild garlic, mushrooms, nettles, sorrel, etc. Finish with a hot drink around a campfire.

Green Woodland Workshop

Introduction woodworking using traditional woodland tools like a shaving horse.  You can split and cleave wood to make a simple bird box, spoons and other items out of natural wood sourced on site.

Forest Bathing

Slowly wonder the site, maybe find a tree or spot you like or even hang in a hammock and take in the sounds and sense of the woodland.

Mindful Photography / Nature Photography

Use your smartphone to study and frame an aspect of being outside with nature. Take your time to get that picture … think about the light / the mood – maybe snap your family members as they enjoy the woods… or you might catch the sun light on the leaves … or a strange orange toadstool!

Rambling
