Urban Nature Wellbeing Club – Circles of Life
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
Activity description
Join us for the final workshop of the Urban Nature Wellbeing Club project. We’ll begin with a gentle walk through the Ecology Park, taking time to reflect on the life cycles of the plants and animals that call this space home. We'll explore the seasonal changes taking place in the natural world and the connections between growth, renewal, and wellbeing. The walk will be followed by a creative session led by Jenny, our local artist. Drawing inspiration from nature, Jenny will guide you in creating a beautiful mandala and a handmade keepsake to take home as a reminder of your experience.

Activity description
Our Green Gym will be working in the grounds of the Ulster Folk Museum helping to create a folklore trail. Our experienced staff will lead you to plant trees for our seed orchard, weave willow structures, lay paths and will teach you about our native trees and the rich biodiversity that they support. 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

Scything, Raking and General Conservation
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!
