Woodland Celebration for Mental Health Day (YWT Member's Exclusive Event)

It’s well known that immersing yourself in nature is very good for your mental health. On this autumn walk with one of our reserve managers we will see plenty of colour and enjoy the wildlife, birds, plants, and fungi in this spectacular wood.
