Back to Nature Outdoor Club at Haldane Youth Services

11th August 2025

With a national park just a short walk away, we piloted the Back to Nature Outdoor Club—a weekly day trip to the local country park. Thank you to Julie our volunteer for leading these sessions.

Across 6 sessions, we recorded 90 individual attendances, with activities including:

Bug hunting
Pond dipping
Exploring aquatic life using a state-of-the-art underwater camera

These hands-on experiences helped young people connect with their environment, build outdoor confidence, and explore their local area in exciting new ways. The popularity of the club highlights a strong appetite for nature-based learning and lays the groundwork for future programming.
