Connecting the Cycles of Life

Get involved, join our woodland Gym!

We can benefit simply by being amongst trees, breathing the woodland air.  The Japanese have a word for this: shinrin-yoku - wood-air bathing.  There is scientific evidence that it can improve mood and produce beneficial physiological changes.  Just looking at trees can help people recover from illness.   We want to encourage people to spend more time enjoying this type of life-enhancing activity.  

  We meet officially to work in the wood on the last Sunday of every month, (affectionately known as Applie Pie Sundays!) and share well-deserved vegan/organic apple pie and coffee in the afternoon.  But some of us work in the wood as often as we can, in between Apple Pie Sundays.  If you’d like to join in, please ring Bella on 01758 612006.

Lone worker

If you'd like to help out, you can choose physically demanding work, like taking out tree roots with a mattock. 

There are trees to be potted, hedges to be planted, ground to be cleared, containers to be painted – plenty of work, all kinds of work, for people of all abilities.

This is part of the new fence - made possible from funding from Natur Gwynedd.  Here, Bella and Colin are planting Willow sticks, harvested from elsewhere in the wood - dogs are welcome as helpers too!
