What we did in covid times:
In this past year we have been busy working with our funders, establishing new partnerships, and, last summer, when restrictions were a bit more relaxed we had the opportunity to work with local families alliviating the immediate effects the lockdowns and disruption of normal life had on them.

AT LAST!
Nature Vibezzz is proud to announce the live sessions are restarting.
Grow Back Greener Project
There is no better time to grow back greener and our team will be working with local families to do just so in Tivoli Park, every Saturday for 6 weeks.
The free project Forest School activities will contribute to reconnecting families to their local park post lockdown - when everyone needs it the most, and to reduce the flooding in the centre area of the park.
We'll be planting osiers and goat willows, maintain the drainage ditch, building dead hedging to help slow water movement down slope and introduce other features that will help increase biodiversity, which, in turn, will help drain excess water.
Prebooking is necessary as we will be operating with a reduced amount of participants each week.
We will also run activities for childminders, home educating families and families with children under 5 years old; dates to be announced shortly.
