    With Ladywell Neighbourhood Network

    At Ladywell Neighbourhood House

    Activity description

    Our Livingston Wild Ways Well group meets every Friday afternoon for a gentle wellbeing walk around Ladywell and the surrounding areas. This is a gentle walk, not a hike! As we go we take notice of the nature around us, learn how to name the trees and plants and about the wildlife that shares the space with us. Afterwards we go to the Ladywell Neighbourhood House for a hot drink and a chat.

By coming to the Tree Nursery, you will be gaining valuable knowledge and experience working alongside us, as well as actively participating in conservation activities. So, if you like the sound of getting a bit mucky and having some fun while doing good for the environment, then this is the place for you!
