We have a planned route of approximately 3 miles, featuring woods, fields, and footpaths.
The path includes stiles and some hilly sections, but we’ll take our time with plenty of stops to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.
Please wear suitable clothing, sturdy footwear and bring walking poles or sticks if needed.
We will use the PlantNet App, Google image search, Woodland Trust App, and our shared knowledge to enhance our understanding of the trees in our area.
We hope to see you there! Steve will be walking, rain or shine.

Each session features different members of the community who will share their expertise on a variety of topics.
In September, Clare will showcase Kintsugi, the ancient art of mending broken ceramics. Bring your broken cups and plates and give it a try! Additionally, Paul will demonstrate some simple electrical repairs that you can attempt at home.
In October, three local residents will discuss their experiences with renovating, retrofitting, and transitioning to green energy. Marches Energy will provide valuable ideas and information to help you save energy in your home.
In November, we will focus on upcycling, creating sustainable gifts, wrapping, and decorations for the festive season.
Together, we are building community resilience through the sharing and learning of our skills and knowledge!
