Still spaces left to join us on our next Noticing Nature poetry workshop on the 23rd June!🌱📝

This gentle, reflective session invites you to observe your surroundings with fresh eyes and express your experience through creative writing.

Guided by an experienced volunteer, you’ll explore simple techniques to spark inspiration from the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature.💚

No prior writing experience needed - just an open mind, a love for the outdoors, and a willingness to notice the beauty in the small things. Perfect for anyone looking to connect more deeply with both nature and their inner voice.

Slow down and tune in to the natural world through the art of poetry in our Noticing Nature Poetry Workshop.

Take a sensory journey with nature 🪻🌿

For one of your activities, pause for a few moments and tune into the natural world using your senses. Focusing on your senses in nature can help you slow down, clear distractions, and feel more connected to the world around you.

Pick one idea, try a few, or try them all 💚

🦦 🦦 🦦 …. A special otter moment at the reserve!

Otters are one of the UK’s most elusive mammals, so if you’re lucky enough to spot one, please keep your distance and enjoy the moment quietly.

This incredible footage was captured by Kev Sewell this morning (03/06/26)
Moments like this don’t happen by chance, they come from spending lots of time in nature, understanding wildlife behaviour and having plenty of patience!

Fancy seeing an otter 🦦 for yourself? Whilst we can’t make any promises, our guided otter walks give you the best chance of spotting one and learning more about these fascinating animals. Take a look at our events page to book your place!
