We are excited to open bookings for our June and July Nature Nurture sessions at Penllergare Valley Woods. ๐ฟ
Nature Nurture is a sustainable wellbeing programme combining evidence-based psychology, nature connection, and practical conservation volunteering.
At the heart of the programme is the idea of sustainable wellbeing, meaning it is designed around the understanding that human wellbeing and environmental wellbeing are deeply interconnected. The sessions support people to improve their own wellbeing whilst also actively contributing to the wellbeing of the natural environment and the wider community.
Each session includes:
๐ Learning around a different ecological theme such as woodland management, invasive species, hedgerows, and nature identification
๐ง Practical psychological tools that support wellbeing, resilience, nervous system regulation, and connection
๐ชต Hands-on conservation volunteering within the woodland
๐ฅช A shared lunch space together (please bring a packed lunch)
๐ค Opportunities to connect, learn, contribute, and be part of a supportive group of adults outdoors
The programme is open to any adults who would like to get involved in sustainable wellbeing within the community, whether that is to improve wellbeing, build confidence, spend more time in nature, meet others, learn new skills, or give something back through meaningful environmental action.
We also warmly welcome people experiencing low mood, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, depression, burnout, or social isolation. Our approach is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming, and we understand that joining a new group can sometimes feel daunting.
Because of this, we offer a confidential phone call before registration to help understand peopleโs needs, answer questions, and explore how we can best support individuals to take part comfortably and safely.
Participants can self-refer or be referred by organisations and services.
Places are limited and booking is essential.
To find out more, arrange a phone call, or register for a place, please contact

Please feel free to share this opportunity across your networks.
With thanks to WCVA for funding this programme, delivered in partnership between Happy Headwork Community CIC and Penllergare Valley Woods. ๐
Mae Nature Nurture yn rhaglen lles cynaliadwy syโn cyfuno seicoleg syโn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth, cysylltiad รข natur, a gwirfoddoli cadwraethol ymarferol.
Wrth wraidd y rhaglen maeโr syniad o les cynaliadwy, syโn golygu ei bod wediโi chynllunio ar sail y ddealltwriaeth bod lles pobl a lles yr amgylchedd wediโu cysylltuโn ddwfn. Maeโr sesiynauโn cefnogi pobl i wella eu lles eu hunain tra hefyd yn cyfrannuโn weithredol at les yr amgylchedd naturiol aโr gymuned ehangach.
Mae pob sesiwn yn cynnwys:
๐ Dysgu am thema ecolegol wahanol megis rheolaeth coetiroedd, rhywogaethau ymledol, perthi, ac adnabod natur
๐ง Dulliau seicolegol ymarferol syโn cefnogi lles, gwytnwch, rheoleiddioโr system nerfol, a chysylltiad
๐ชต Gwirfoddoli cadwraethol ymarferol yn y goedwig
๐ฅช Gofod cinio cymunedol gydaโn gilydd (dewch รข phecyn bwyd eich hun)
๐ค Cyfleoedd i gysylltu, dysgu, cyfrannu, a bod yn rhan o grลตp cefnogol o oedolion yn yr awyr agored
Maeโr rhaglen yn agored i unrhyw oedolion sydd eisiau cymryd rhan mewn lles cynaliadwy yn y gymuned, boed hynny i gefnogi eu lles, adeiladu hyder, treulio mwy o amser ym myd natur, cwrdd ag eraill, dysgu sgiliau newydd, neu roi rhywbeth yn รดl drwy weithredu amgylcheddol ystyrlon.
Rydym hefyd yn croesawu pobl syโn byw gyda hwyliau isel, gorbryder, straen, gorlethu, iselder, blinder emosiynol, neu unigrwydd cymdeithasol. Mae ein dull yn ystyriol o drawma ac yn niwro-gadarnhaol, ac rydym yn deall y gall ymuno รข grลตp newydd deimloโn gam mawr weithiau.
Fel rhan oโr broses gofrestru, rydym yn cynnig galwad gyfrinachol ymlaen llaw i ddeall anghenion pobl, ateb cwestiynau, ac ystyried sut y gallwn gefnogi pobl i gymryd rhan yn gyfforddus ac yn ddiogel.
Gall pobl hunangyfeirio neu gael eu cyfeirio gan sefydliadau a gwasanaethau.
Mae lleoedd yn gyfyngedig ac mae archebu yn hanfodol.
I gael gwybod mwy, trefnu galwad, neu gofrestru am le, cysylltwch รข Georgina ar [email protected]
Gyda diolch i WCVA am ariannuโr rhaglen hon, a gyflwynir mewn partneriaeth rhwng Happy Headwork Community CIC a Choedwig Cwm Penllergare. ๐
