A day to explore your own levels of connection and find out ways you can help others to build their connection with nature.

Our training sessions are aimed at VCSE organisations currently delivering activities in the outdoors and nature who want to develop their skills in delivering positive health outcomes for those taking part. Equally if you are looking to develop outdoor activities as part of your current offer, these training sessions will also be of value.

All training is offered for FREE thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. However, these training session do come at a cost. Please only book if you can commit to the dates and times advertised.

All our training is open to both staff and volunteers within your organisation. We normally request only one person per organisation attend but do speak to us if you have more people in your organisation you think may benefit.

If you have any specific questions please contact GreenSP@heysmilefoundation.org.

Join Kat from Katkins Outdoor Learning for a deep dive into connecting with nature. A day where you can explore your own levels of connection and find out ways you can help others to build their connection with nature.

We will explore the research around nature connection and how that can inform us about what we can do to improve our wellbeing by being more nature aware.

Kat has 15 years of experience working in a large wildlife conservation charity spending time with people and communities in a nature-based setting. She is a Forest School leader of 10 years and a lifetime naturalist and has used these passions to share nature and inspire others about the natural world.

We will explore activities that need little or no resources that are transferable in all settings.
