Educational, community group & special interest visits

At Heal Somerset, we welcome groups of all ages and interests for guided visits and activities. Your visit will be led by a member of our team or one of our trained volunteers, making sure it’s engaging, safe and memorable.

What can you do at Heal Somerset?

Every group is unique, so we tailor each visit to suit your objectives. Here are some of the activities you could enjoy during your visit:

Learn about rewilding: Take a guided walk around our 460-acre site to discover rewilding and see it in action

Contribute to rewilding: Help with activities such as willow planting or building leaky dams

Get creative with natural arts and crafts: Paint the landscape, go on scavenger hunts or explore textures with charcoal rubbings

Build outdoor skills: Learn fire-making or wildlife tracking techniques

Connect with nature: Enjoy mindful movement or sensory activities
