Here is a list of the walks we have held.
Click on the links to see some of the lovely places we have visited with great scenery and interesting wildlife.
I hope you can see that we are enjoying the company and the exercise too.
All are welcome to come on these walks. They are publicised through Churches Together in Settle and through Craven Conservation Group (All are welcome including people who are not naturalists and who are not Christian or religious)
We discover and learn about our environment - both natural history facts - and about new places near where we live.
We take litter collecting bags and usually pick litter en route..
We raise awareness about Climate change - We usually have a short stop for reflection on route and use the latest sheet produced by a group called "Prayandfastfortheclimate" and sometimes Green Christian's monthly guide.
