It’s easy to think of February as a time when there is little to see outdoors. It’s cold and grey and muddy, if not snowy. But if it seems so, perhaps you need only look more closely… Once a month, Laura and Claire lead a biodiversity walk in the Fells. It’s a free form activity […]
I have such mixed feelings about the unseasonably beautiful weather we had for our walk this weekend. On the one hand, it was absolutely delightful to be out in near-60 degree weather. On the other, it’s awfully worrying that we have such days at all in January. Once a month, Laura and Claire lead a […]

Summary ꙳ Objectives ▹ Fall is here! It is a great opportunity to slow down and notice the Life around. In temperate climates, late bloomers come into focus, deciduous trees explode in colors, all are preparing for the Winter. Fall is also the perfect time to start or resume Nature Journaling. Get your pens & pencils out, and […]
Summary ꙳ Objectives ▹ Nature is everywhere around us, but we’re so busy or distracted that often we fail to notice it. Get outside and record the wildlife that lives around you including what you can’t see but you know live here. List the plants as well. If you don’t know the name, describe what you […]
Summary ꙳ Objectives ▹ Can you feel this little chill in the air? Do you hear the difference in the sound that the wind makes when it runs through the leaves? The sound is crispier now, while it was more ‘feathery’ throughout the summer. Where we live the trees are dressing up in red, purple, […]
