Strengthening Community Through Nature
At Natural Networks we seek to strengthen the connection between people and the natural world, creating fun, outdoor and nature-based experiences that nurture well-being, physical health, social inclusion, community spirit, personal growth, and a deeper appreciation for the environment. By fostering connections between people and their local green spaces, we strive to create lasting, positive change in the lives of those we work with. Join us as we work to build more connected, inclusive, and thriving communities, one outdoor experience at a time. The Group is made up entirely of volunteers who run conservation activities such as clearing encroaching Brambles, sowing and planting wildflowers, coppicing and tree planting. We also organise events such as family nature activities, guided walks and talks.
