Diamond Wood Country Park Monthly 'Time in Nature' session

We are inviting you to take some time out and to connect with nature each month at Diamond Wood Country Park, on the edge of Rugby.

This is the second of our monthly sessions, which will be running every third Sunday of the month from August 2025 - July 2026. These sessions are thanks to funding support from Severn Trent Community Fund. To find out more see here: Diamond Wood Country Park | Warwickshire Wildlife Trust

What will we be doing?

For this second session we will be meeting at 10.30am, having a gentle walk around the site and using our smart photos to take some up close (macro) photos of things we see! If you don't have a smart phone we will have some magnifying glasses to use too. We will be Taking Notice of the small things around us.

We will end the session back in the car park for a cup of tea/coffee and a chance to chat.

Is it for me?

This session is for anyone who wants to gently explore nature and spend time with other people. You don't need to know anything about nature to join us - any level of nature knowledge is welcome!

It will be a slow paced walk, on largely grass pathways, with some inclines. There are also some steps from the car park.

Families are welcome to attend, but the sessions will be largely designed for adults (18+) and any children must be accompanied by an adult.

We would love to have local Rugby residents joining us for these sessions, but anyone is welcome :-)
