Digital Content from the Access to Nature Learning Programme
In 2025 Barnwood Trust plans to work alongside more organisations to improve access to nature in Gloucestershire. We would like to be in touch with people and organisations that manage ‘everyday green and blue spaces’ who might be interested in embarking on learning and joining a peer network to improve access to nature. You might work in housing, hospitals/GP surgeries, or local parks. Please be in touch with our Learning Manager Josh Jones if you would like to know more – josh.jones@barnwoodtrust.org
