Urban Nature Wellbeing Club – Nature-Inspired Yoga
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
Activity description
Connect with nature through movement in a special session guided by Sarah, an experienced yoga teacher. This month, we’ll use the calming and comforting environment of our ecology park to explore how yoga philosophy can support our wellbeing. Gentle stretches inspired by nature and wildlife will help relax your mind and body while nurturing your soul. At the end of the session, enjoy a cup of chai and try reflective journaling in our quiet spaces, specially reserved for this experience. Take home a token of relaxation to remind you of your experience. The session is open to all adults (18+) interested in learning more about mental health, building practical wellbeing tools, and connecting with a supportive community. This session is free, but booking is essential as only 12 spaces are available.

Help us to complete practical outdoor tasks and contribute your ideas for developing the trail. Join our green gym and see the benefits! Get Outdoors: being surrounded by greenery has been shown to improve overall mental health and reduce heart rates. Get Active: conservation work or gardening is a great low impact way to exercise your whole body. Meet Local People: our volunteers love meeting new people, so no need to be shy, enjoy coming together to form a team! Learn New Skills: from tool use and plant ID to group leadership, there is something for everyone. Make a Difference: all sessions improve a local green space for people and wildlife. *Please email tcv-treenursery@tcv.org.uk before attending or to find out more

Plant surveys and thistle clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Sundon National Grid (Chalton)
Activity description
We have just started a new long term project at this brilliant little site, to improve biodiversity. As we're in the early stages, our first few months are concentrating on recording what's on site now, and keeping on top of the plant species that would otherwise take over - mainly thistles. So our sessions are a mix of scything, raking, and walking over the site to survey what's there. Something for everyone!
