Langdyke Countryside Trust

• being out in nature is known to have significant benefits to health and wellbeing;
• meeting with people in a shared interest can build relationships;
• learning something new and having to focus on details to achieve that engages your mind in positive ways; there is a chance to learn about wild flowers, birds and other species you may not have come across before.

‘The opportunity to actively engage with nature, seeing the wider landscape change and observing the detail of local species, helps me to re-focus and see what joy there is to be found in simple things.’

Among the reserves Langdyke manages or helps with are Swaddywell Pit, Etton Maxey, and Torpel Manor Field (see their website for more information).
