They take place on the first day of the month. We have a short reflection (four min) on climate issues en route. We look at natural history features.
(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 have a short stop for reflection on route and use the latest sheet produced by a group called "Pray and fast for the climate" and sometimes Green Christian's monthly guide. These reflections show how rapidly history is changing- even over two and a half years.
