Outdoor Learning Programme

All the events in the 2025/26 Outdoor Learning Programme aim to engage people with their local environment, through a variety of walks, workshops and talks.

Join us for a lovely walk, through meadows and woodlands learning to observe, identify and use what you discover. We will be doing some beginner level foraging, looking at some of the common plants we find along the way, how to identify them and what their uses might be. You will have the opportunity to sample some foraged delicacies and take home some recipe ideas to try yourselves!Walk Leader Amber BichenoAmber works for the Trust and loves to share her passion for nature with everyone, inspiring others to explore the beautiful countryside within the Gorge.C ontact via vco@severngorge.org.uk or telephone: 01952 433880Severn Gorge Countryside TrustThis workshop is being hosted by the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust, a local charity.The Trust’s aim is to promote, protect and conserve the living landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, which has a diverse range of habitats, including wildflower meadows, woodlands and heathlands.
