Mindful Walk and Draw

Join Countryside Ranger Claire Plattern and Artist Sarah Hough for a FREE guided mindful walk and draw on Thursday 25 January.

This is the second of our drawing walks in Thorncombe Woods in partnership with 'Health and Nature Dorset' as part of their 'Give Nature a Go: Staff Wellbeing Programme'. For those of you that joined us in July, come and see how the landscape has changed in the past 6 months and connect with your natural surroundings. For those that haven't come before, we look forward to meeting you.

Come to the woods, switch off and celebrate the seasons!
