These sessions are not drop off and require that a parent/ carer stays on site with the child/ren. Places are limited so please fill out the Nature Net Referral Form below. We will be in touch to confirm your place.

Elders in the Woods
AKA. Green Dementia
This is a nature-based, therapeutic program specifically designed for people living with dementia and their family carers. However, having dementia is not a requirement to attend this group. Using the "Elders in the Woods" framework, the project aims to reduce social isolation, improve emotional well-being, and provide high quality sensory engagement through outdoor activity.
This project is currently taking place in the garden of St Anthony's, Walker.
Please get in touch to express an interest or find out more!
