“I have enjoyed learning about Woodland management and bio-diversity. Learning new horticulture information and I have lead groups. I love coming to WELLIEs and it boosts my confidence each week.”
“We have done a lot of new stuff – its out of my comfort zone but I am really enjoying it. I am starting to lead and I wouldn’t have done this last year. I like helping new people.”
