Joy, connection and relaxation in the great outdoors...

Live Wild's Nature Queers session during Happy Valley Pride week will celebrate Joy and Connection in nature. Get to know other LGBTQIA+ folk, make new queer friends, and have fun together in a beautiful natural setting - NT Hardcastle Crags. We'll be sharing a range of nature themed games and practices that are designed for joy, connection and relaxation in the great outdoors. Come join us to play in the woods!

This is a partner event run by Live Wild/Nature Queers.

Nature Queers is about creating spaces to meet and develop a nature-loving LGBTQ+ community. They welcome all LGBTQIA+ folks to join us in connecting with nature, self and community, whilst learning a range of practical outdoor skills in a playful and supportive environment. Nature Queers run weekly sessions with themes including bushcraft, foraging, fire skills, natural crafting, whittling, survival skills, shelter building, and herbalism. Each session also includes nature connection practices that encourage a sense of belonging, safety, and peace in the outdoors.
