Activity description
Over the last two years, we’ve run our Young Green Gym project to support primary-aged children with mental health challenges. Using a blend of Forest School approaches, children build confidence, communication and teamwork through nature-based activities. This taster will give you a chance to take part in a typical session and learn more about the project’s impact. Programme details: For up to 14 children per group. Runs one day a week over a 6-week half term (ideally Mondays or Tuesdays).

Site description
The Conservation Volunteers at Skelton Grange in Leeds have long recognised that looking after green places isn't only about caring for nature, but about caring for people as well.
Since 1992, we have used the natural environment to offer a range of education, job skills and recreation opportunities for people of all ages. Skelton Grange welcomes over 6500 people a year, including young people joining environmental education and play activities, and adult trainees and volunteers leading education sessions and conservation and biodiversity projects. This enables them to widen their experience & aspirations, reduce social exclusion and build confidence, develop skills for further training or employment, and partake in positive activities which promote lifelong learning and cohesive communities.
Very simply, every year we engage thousands of people of all ages with their local environment where they make a positive difference to their community.
