During mental health awareness week many staff took the time on their lunch break to step out of the office and connect with nature.
Mental Health awareness week highlights just how important looking after ourselves and looking out for others can be.
After a year of change, challenges and isolation take a moment for you.
Our country park is open between 9am-7pm, less peak times 9am-11am and after 5pm however toilet facilities only open between 10am and 4pm.

Wellbeing walks snd indentifying bird noises
Something different other than snow this morning.
Our Education team have been working on something new for spring to give you that spring in your step.
For now something to do at home whilst home schooling.
Shall we whistle like a bird while we work...
Bird song - Take a moment
Bird song can be used to help you find your feet with nature but if you can't get outside right now listening to it for a minute or 5 can help to calm yourself, relieve stress and may even make you smile.
Merry Christmas 2020

Mindful moments at Wat Tyler
The clocks go back tomorrow... and this year more than ever we believe a quiet hour in nature would help bring a calmness for the new week.
The birds you can hear were recorded just beyond the RSPB garden on Thursday at 12pm just after a sharp shower.
The photos were shared by Helen a member of the facilities team.
Today for those who are unable to visit us, we would like to take you through the RSPB Garden as the wild flowers begin to bloom.
