Spring 2026 Woodland Wellbeing at Watchtree

Spring 2026 Woodland Wellbeing at Watchtree

Funded by The Nineveh Trust

We believe in the power of nature and the outdoors to support positive wellbeing. This 7‑week Spring Woodland Wellbeing program offers a welcoming opportunity to relax, connect, and try new activities in the peaceful woodland setting at Watchtree Nature Reserve.

Each session begins with a warm brew around the campfire, followed by a range of engaging activities, which may include:

· 🌱 Conservation volunteering

· 🔥 Bushcraft skills and outdoor cooking

· 📷 Wildlife photography

· 🧘 Yoga and mindfulness practices

· 🎨 Art and poetry

“I was feeling cut off, particularly after the winter. The sessions helped to give a focus to my week – thankyou”

Who Is This For?

This program is ideal for adults who want to:

· Improve mental and physical well-being

· Connect with nature, but sometimes struggle due to personal circumstances

· Build confidence

· Try something new

· Meet like-minded people

· Enjoy calm, meaningful time in nature

No previous experience is needed – just curiosity and a willingness to take part.

“The woodland wellbeing sessions were fantastic; they were both relaxing and fun. I learnt some new skills I can take away. All the staff and volunteers were really nice and made me feel welcome.”
