Over the course of the two sessions, we will be tuning into our innate connection with the natural world and the ecosystems around us through inspiring writing activities, accessible to all. By the end of the two workshops, you will feel more confident with using writing as a powerful tool for nature connection, be more attuned to the rich variety of habitat at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes and how we can use our pens and imaginations for deep observation and recording.

First session: Friday 3 October 2pm-4pm (NWT Sweet Briar Marshes)

Second session: Wednesday 15 October, 2pm-4pm (NWT Sweet Briar Marshes)

Norfolk Wildlife Trust

Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the oldest Wildlife Trust in the country. The purchase of 400 acres of marsh at Cley on the north Norfolk coast in 1926 to be held ‘in perpetuity as a bird breeding sanctuary’ provided a blueprint for nature conservation which has now been replicated across the UK. Our vision for Norfolk: where the future of wildlife is protected and enhanced through sympathetic management and people are connected with and inspired by Norfolk’s wildlife and wild spaces.
