🍀 Stories in Nature: Connecting with Nature in Caradon Woods 🍁
Another wonderful day on our Stories in Nature programme.
We were picked up from Odils by DAn Travel and travelled to Caradon Woods in a lovely, comfortable bus.
When we arrived, the rain had just passed, leaving the woods feeling fresh, peaceful and welcoming.
We were warmly welcomed by Phil from Greenwood Music and headed out with Jess and Mark from Fotonow to Meadow Camp.
At the camp, we spent some time taking part in photo activities. We explored the woodland surroundings through photography, looking closely at the details, colours, textures and natural shapes around us. It was a lovely opportunity to be creative, try different ways of capturing the environment and enjoy being present in the peaceful woodland setting.
Phil, Marina and Tatiana then organised an amazing meal for everyone, with fresh vegetables, hummus, flatbread and delicious vegan sausages fried over the fire. Sharing food together outdoors made the experience even more special.
We spent lots of time relaxing in the hammocks, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and taking in the beauty of the woods. Some of us enjoyed a swim in the river. We also got creative, making spatulas and drawing on flat stones being inspired by the environment around us.
It was a fantastic day of nature connection, creativity, wellbeing and community. We enjoyed slowing down, spending time together, getting creative and making the most of the fresh and welcoming woodland surroundings.
Stories in Nature — creating connections, building confidence and enjoying the outdoors together.
Odils Learning Foundation, Fotonow (CIC) and Greenwood Music CIC would like to thank The National Lottery players and the The National Lottery Community Fund for enabling this impactful work to happen.
