Ecotherapy
Nant y Glyn provides the ideal setting for
Forest School based Ecotherapy programmes.
“Ecotherapy is regular activity that is: facilitated and structured, focuses on doing an activity rather than ‘health’, takes place in a green environment, is related to exploring and appreciating the natural world, happens over time, and involves contact with other people” (MIND)
We are happy to explore programme ideas with you with no obligation to book. Please contact us to discuss your group’s needs.
