Join us at the Nature & Wellbeing Centre for World Climate Day on 23rd March and help make a greener future!

Spend the day discovering how we can take meaningful action for the environment in our own neighbourhoods - from small everyday changes to hands-on activities that strengthen community connections and help nature thrive where we live.
Our three acre site will be open to everyone throughout the day - take part in as much or as little as you like, or simply visit to enjoy our green space and spend time outdoors!
