🌿 What does 1:1 support look like at Wild Earth’s Stepping Stones programme?
It looks a little different for every young person.
Our 1:1 sessions create space to slow down, connect with nature, build practical skills and develop confidence — without pressure.
🐦 Listening to birdsong and learning to recognise different calls
🌳 Being still in nature and learning relaxation and grounding techniques
🦔 Watching local wildlife and studying their behaviour
🔥 Learning bushcraft and practical outdoor skills
🌱 Planting, tending raised beds and collecting seeds
🌿 Exploring the allotment and discovering what lives and grows there
💚 Building confidence through small, achievable challenges
And sometimes, it’s simply about sitting quietly together, noticing the sounds, sights and movement around us.
Fun fact: 🌳🐦 Natural sounds such as birdsong have been linked with reduced stress and a calmer nervous system. Time in green spaces can also support mental wellbeing, while gardening and growing plants can provide a sense of purpose, achievement and connection.
For some young people, these might sound like simple activities.
But when you create the right environment, simple moments can become powerful opportunities to regulate, connect, learn and grow.
This is what Stepping Stones is all about. 🌱
Connecting people with nature. Creating brighter futures.
