Wild in the City

Croydon, UK

Wild in the City is a community organisation working to increase people's well-being by enabling urban residents to rediscover and connect with nature. London has beautiful pockets of woodland, specifically oak woodland in South London, yet many people don't know it's there. We are creating a community of people gathering together in nature to experience the benefits that come with spending time in the outdoors. Living and working in a busy urban environment, people can often find their daily lives busy and stressful. Spending time in nature has been founds to reduce stress, depression and anxiety, induce meditative feelings and improve mood and memory. From parks and woods, we create experiences that teach traditional techniques, such as bush-craft and navigating skills, which help people to feel closer to their ancestral past as well as to their present. We create experiences that encourage community members of all ages and backgrounds to immerse themselves in local green spaces. For example, our Into The Wild programme empowers 16-25 year olds to increase their personal development through learning practical woodland skills and therapeutic reflection. We have big plans for the future: introducing an exciting new project that will encourage office workers to spend time working outdoors and a Natural Health Service helping people to improve their physical and emotional health through physical activity in beautiful outdoor spaces. Come and join us by the campfire! We're always looking for volunteers to help with our projects and activities - from building sustainable outdoor furniture that 'leaves no trace' to helping us to promote our fantastic workshops and opportunities. Please share our project page using the social icons on this page to let your friends and followers know how they can benefit from spending time in London's wild and wonderful pockets of nature.
