🌳The Sligo Woodland school in collaboration with Healthy Sligo provided a series of hands-on nature workshops, enabling all the family and individuals to participate in their own health journey. Families were encouraged to creatively explore nature, engage in a range of outdoor adventures and learn to use a wide range of natural materials for outdoor art & craft, through a multitude of engaging experiences including 🪵:
• Planting, Foraging and Cooking around the fire together 🔥
• Nature based art & craft games, songs and story telling 🌿
• Shelter Building and Bushcraft skills 🍂
All of these experiences are empowering individuals and families to adopt healthier lifestyle choices, focusing on Wellbeing, connecting with Nature and spending time with family and individuals in nature. 🌱
It was great fun and lots of smiles and laughter coming from the woods every day!
