Nature Based Learning &Wellbeing
Nurturing people’s relationship with their local landscape.
About Our Programmes & Workshops
Different Roots facilitates nature based wellbeing & learning programmes and immersive workshops. We provide creative ways for individuals to connect and learn directly from the natural world, cultivate mindfulness, learn wild skills, craft traditional herbal medicines, encourage earth stewardship, foster a life long love of nature and enhance overall health and wellbeing.
Our motivation is to enable people to easily connect with nature in their local areas and communities. Knowing the names, traditions and folklore of our local native plants, trees and wildlife connects us to the present moment and a sense of greater belonging.
Our programs and workshops are adaptable and can take place at a woodland, community gardens, onsite at specific locations, or any urban natural environment with trees.
