Recently, Julian visited Fishpond Wood and met Dr Peter and Michelle Brambleby, who run Whitewoods Wellbeing.
The scheme offers outdoor therapeutic and educational opportunities for all ages, and Dr Brambleby outlined the health and wellbeing benefits associated with spending time in nature.
This was exemplified by a group of schoolchildren visiting that day, who were clearly enjoying themselves making seed bombs, cooking sausages in a fire pit, and drinking hot chocolate!
Julian Smith said, “It was great to visit Fishpond Wood recently and meet Peter and Michelle.
“It’s a real privilege to live in a beautiful rural area like Skipton and Ripon, and this scheme offers people the chance to make the most of that.”
