About this event
NatureEscape is a community greenspace in Florence Park. This a space to encourage wildlife and more diverse native ecologies. It is a space for the community to use for outdoor learning and play!
On the 6th of March we will be making a home for frogs!...and other pondlife. Come along to help us create the pond. An afternoon of digging and tending to the natureescape.
12:00pm-2pm
2pm-5pm
Please bring a pair of gloves and if you have a spade also bring this!
NatureEscape works to create:
Place – a sense of belonging to a community
People – a community with wide reaching cultural diversity
Plants – which are so important for education, survival and beauty
Play – relaxation, an essential for healthy human development and wellbeing.
Drawing on the philosophy of the Forest School movement and the inspiration of local people, the naturescape will be home for various groups that support outdoor play, exploration, and interaction with natural elements such as water, fire and vegetation. The focus is on developing confidence and self-esteem through creative and hands-on experiences in a natural setting.
