If you are considering how to incorporate connection with nature into your work to support people, please get in touch with Jenny King on the email below, to see if there is capacity for a bespoke session for your organisation. Sessions are delivered both face to face and online, and can be in a variety of venues across South Yorkshire. To see more about the training content, click here.
