Countryfile at Lineover wood near my home this evening. Great to see my favourite beech tree The 600 year old Heritage Tree. I was involved in an advisory capacity - didn’t make it on camera (this time) 🤠🙏🏻🌳 ... See MoreSee Less

Have you ever wanted to learn more about foraging? This is a good friend of mine who is offering an amazing opportunity to experience and connect with nature. I’ve walked on a 1:1 with Rob Gould here in the Cotswolds and can highly recommend it - looks like a lovely week for an escape into nature 🤠🙏🏻🍂Lockdown 2.0 and a change of plans.

Read on for my lockdown idea 🙏

For the past few weeks I have been mulling over trying something a bit different for the winter period. Instead of my normal private foraging walks, which are now obviously over until the spring, I was planning on offering walks for small groups based around the natural history of their chosen location, helping them to build a greater understanding of, and to engage more with, their local environment. The intention was to offer them at around half the price of my normal private walks, and just see what interest there was.

BUT then came the announcement of Lockdown 2.0, and for now, obviously, that's all on hold. 😬

If I'm completely honest, I really struggled mentally through the first lockdown. The level of confinement, and restrictions placed on being able to get out into the countryside, really caused me problems - especially as we live in a suburban area, and realistically need to drive out to be able to enjoy the countryside. But actually just getting out when I was able to, and appreciating what nature I could see, definitely helped.

So I've had an idea. For the whole of lockdown (however long it lasts for), and when I can, I'm going to be available for 1:1 walking sessions lasting a few hours. The walks will be in a location of your choice, and we will chat about whatever aspect of nature you want to. They could be seen as a great way of getting to learn your local area more, or a good way to unwind and de-stress, even if only slightly, from some of the issues that are bound to arise over the next month or so.

And the price?

PAY WHAT YOU FEEL.

Yes, you pay what you feel the value was to you.

...hopefully it won't backfire on me... I mean, I've still got bills to pay too 🙏🤞

Thank you Rob for this amazing offering and your service to nature and living beings ☺️ If I were nearer, I’d definitely like to join you. ✨

Hi Rob, I have just joined this group and was intrigued to see your post on foraging. I am in the process of creating a Save Our Planet project for Primary School Children - Trickletown Valleys' Rainbow Quests - 7 Quests to help Save Our Planet. A couple of the Quests involve teaching children about the ways of the Forest and I would love to include a section on foraging. I have suffered badly over recent months with anxiety and depression and losing myself in this project has helped me no end. If you are up for the challenge of perhaps setting some video foraging challenges for the kids to follow please get in touch? I can put any links on the website you might require to forward people to your business. Please look at this link if you are interested: martinpbuckley.wixsite.com/forest3

Shinrin-Yoku is the practice of ‘forest bathing’ and was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It’s believed that being mindful of the sights, smells and feel of nature can help reduce cortisol levels and blood pressure & improve memory & concentration. Would you try it? #Countryfile
