Woodland Wellbeing
Beechbrae offers tailored woodland wellbeing sessions for young people that focus on improving mental & physical health, raising awareness, and taking practical action on important environmental & sustainability challenges.
These sessions are for small groups (up to 6 young people), are 1.5 hours once a week and are for a minimum of 6 weeks.
We can also do one off or taster sessions for larger groups or for shorter time frames.
