It was great to welcome families from Yeovil 4 Family for our Go Wild activity day last week. We had crafts, games and challenges for all to enjoy, indoors and out, and were lucky enough to spot some wildlife too.

Lots of fun was had yesterday on our Just Act Natural day with Somerset Parent Carer Forum. Families came to enjoy being out in nature, making crafts, exploring the site, discovering wildlife, playing in the woods, being creative, being free to roam and making new connections.

Our thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this project with Magdalen Farm

🍂☀️ What a wonderful day! ☀️🍂

A huge thank you to Carymoor Environmental Trust for hosting such a fantastic day of outdoor fun in the beautiful autumn sunshine.

Our families had an amazing time exploring the outdoors, getting creative with plenty of spooktacular crafts, and seeing children and young people try new things, build confidence, and make new friends. The shared experiences made it a truly special day for everyone involved.

We already can't wait to visit again next year. A special thank you also goes to The National Lottery Community Fund for funding our Just Act Natural Days.

Spooky season continued today at Carymoor with Just Act Natural 👻 🦇

We had lots of fun exploring outdoors; made plenty of spooktacular crafts; and saw our visitors try new things and make new friends… what a day!

A special thanks to Somerset Parent Carer Forum for their support and for connecting us with new and returning visitors 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

It was lovely to walk through St John's Churchyard in the middle of Yeovil today and see a piece of Carymoor. The willow obelisks and hurdles were made by able2achieve learners on our site and are looking good in their new home.

Its great to see this area being planted in a more sustainable way and that thought is being given to the kinds of plants, the compost and the upkeep of these beds.

Well done to all involved.

We’ve had a great day at our Go Wild Holiday Club today, celebrating spooky season! 👻

The rain didn’t dampen our spirits: we still managed to complete a trail, master an orienteering challenge, get creative in the forest school area AND make so many crafts that they had to be juggled home!

Not only that, but while lifting our nature mats on our wildlife walk down to Nightingale Woods, we saw 2 field mice, 1 shrew and a grand total of 11 newts (amongst other fantastic minibeast friends too!)

We can’t wait to repeat some of these brilliant activities at our other events this week and we look forward to hosting more Go Wild Holidays Clubs in future school holidays. If you think your child might enjoy a day ‘going wild’, please follow us for future event announcements 🌿

The trainees from The Hub Yeovil have been learning all about Autumn wildlife and seasonal colours on their weekly sessions at Carymoor.

They made some great pictures using natural materials collected from the woodland floor, searched for hidden pictures of small mammals, took on our dormouse hibernation challenge, found out about other hibernating creatures and made their own clay creatures to take home.

Thank you to the The National Lottery Reaching Communities fund for supporting this project.

Some super feedback from a recent school visit.

We always try and give our schools an action packed day, filled with multiple outdoor learning experiences, new discoveries and plenty of fun. It's great to hear back from schools - and we love hearing what the children thought of the day.

Thank you to St Pauls Junior school for their kind feedback.
