Activity description

Nature Connections: A wellbeing project in Trafford. We know that spending time in nature, especially around water, boosts physical and mental wellbeing. That's why we are excited to tell you about TCV's new project - Nature Connections! This project will involve a series of free sessions at Sale Water Park that aims to connect people with nature and water to improve their wellbeing through nature-based activities. Activities will be held in a social group setting with brews and biscuits and will include things like nature ID such as birds, leaves and wildflowers; nature crafts; small scale habitat improvement activities; and campfires.

Meeting place

Meet at Visitor's Centre, Sale Water Park, Rifle Road, Manchester, M33 2LX We will be trialing the offer of free minibus transport from community venue locations for people who would otherwise struggle to attend.
