Connect with Nature because it benefits both our physical wellbeing and mental health; to appreciate the beauty and wonder of our natural world; to raise awareness and advocate on "Sustainable Development Goals number 3", which is "Good Health and Wellbeing"; and of course, to breath some fresh Cornish air.
We are a friendly group of nature and wildlife enthusiasts, of all ages, from all backgrounds, interested in bird-watching, butterfly-watching, learning new things, discovering new interests, meeting like-minded people, and having loads of fun.
