Local nature festive exploration!

[PLEASE ONLY BOOK TICKETS FOR CHILDREN]

Local nature festive exploration!

Learn about local nature, rewilding and community projects.

Frome Families for the Future, along with other local families, are invited to a nature and festive filled morning at Heal Somerset. We will begin the exploration at 10am with a guided nature walk by local wildlife expert, Nick Patel. The walk will be a muddy one, so pack the wellies! As we squelch through the mud and water, we will learn about the local wildlife and this special rewilding project.

After an hour, we will come inside and warm ourselves up with tea, hot chocolate, and mince pies. There will be nature-themed arts and crafts for the young ones, while the adults can chat to Julia from Heal about future community projects.

About Heal Rewilding: Heal’s name is its vision: heal the land, heal nature, heal ourselves. We raise money to buy land and rewild it, with the aim of creating new spaces for nature in every English county. In 2023, we moved into our first site in Somerset and are so excited to see how the space will combat climate change, boost biodiversity and support people’s wellbeing.
