Stepping into Nature

Our beautiful Dorset landscape is full of opportunities to enjoy nature in fun, social and creative ways.

For some of us though, finding opportunities to enjoy nature that suits our needs are harder to come by. Ability, confidence, and age can all influence what we can and can’t do. The Stepping into Nature project is about listening to our community in Dorset and working in partnership to enable everyone to enjoy nature.
