Childrens Wilderness Sanctuary

About

The charity aims for the education of children and young people through nature and local, national and international ecological and environmental issues. We mainly do this through the land in the Upper Dryffe valley. We have developed activities to be held in nature. Tree recognition through games and collecting leaves, environmental art [ making art with natural materials] pond dips, orientation, survival [keeping warm and dry outdoors] story telling, den making, outdoor cooking, keeping outdoor areas tidy, care for the environment. Simple boat making and racing them in the river. Simple sport activities outdoors. The children and adults love these activities. It gives them a better understanding of themselves and what they can achieve. They learn to work together without putting pressure on that aspect. They look healthier by being outside, away of their phones an t.v. They learn to problem solve in nature. This being a skill that they will take with them into their normal life
