Join us for a 2.5-hour forest bathing session with Samantha from Fleeting Fern (https://www.instagram.com/fleeting_fern/) on Spring Equinox, held in the beautiful Adel Dam Nature Reserve.

This is a calm, guided way to explore the reserve at the beginning of Spring while slowing down and deepening your connection with nature.

Embrace your wild side - what to expect:

Accessibility and terrain

The path to Marsh Hide is suitable for standard wheelchairs and pushchairs, while the rest of the route is more uneven with narrow passage ways which become inaccessible for some users. Boggy areas frequent so keep to path.

People using wheelchairs, powerchairs and mobility equipment can find more information about this reserve here (https://www.accessiblenatureuk.com/adel-dam-golden-acre-park-leeds) thanks to Accessible Nature.

If you have any access requirements or need additional support to fully participate in this event, please let us know at checkout or get in touch with us at events@ywt.org.uk. We are happy to chat through how we can best support your participation in this event and aim to accommodate where possible.
