About the event

Meet in the Events Space at the Red Brick Building, Glastonbury where a volunteer will take you to the survey site. You will then spend an hour with Somerset Wildlife Trust finding out just how many species are present in the hedges and learning all about how they are being cared for. You will then be taken back to the Red Brick Building in time to join another survey (numbers are limited so please book each event separately) or the Wellbeing Nature Walk.

Alternatively, you are welcome to come and go from the Events Space at your leisure. Staff from the SWT Wilder Wellbeing project will be onsite to talk all things nature connections and nature-based wellbeing, with some simple activities you can try on the day. There will also be other drop in craft activities, local organisations you can speak with about climate change mitigation and adaptation, and short docu-film screenings. Or you could just rest or refuel at The Old Tannery!

Please check out the full itinerary for more details. We may be adding to this so do keep checking back!
