Avon Wildlife Trust activities held by the Folly Farm Centre
-Simple wonders
Reconnect your team with nature and each other, through the simple pleasure of pond dipping and minibeast hunting. Learn and bond as a team as you discover the rare, strange and beautiful species living in the Folly Farm ponds and woods, with the support of a wildlife expert from Avon Wildlife Trust. Enjoy playing lighthearted team games, including ‘bat & moth’, where a blindfolded colleague must think like a bat in order to catch their prey. All participants will leave with a nature spotter guide, to continue their nature discoveries at home.
£40. 2 hours. Minimum 8. March – October. Suggested maximum: 30
-Mindfulness in nature
Help your team to shed recent stresses with our unique nature mindfulness session. Led by Avon Wildlife Trust’s experienced staff, participants will take part in gentle stretch and relaxing exercises, before immersing themselves in calming nature mindfulness activities in Folly Farm’s tranquil woodland. Your team will emerge energised and refocused, ready to face the challenges your business faces together.

-Bushcraft and survival
Resilience, communication and creativity are all needed if your team are going to survive deep in the Folly Farm woods.

This activity can be run as a competitive or as a collaborative exercise.
£50. Half day. Minimum 8. Suggested maximum: 20

A great way for your team to stretch their legs, reenergise and relax in nature. Our wildlife expert will lead a relaxed guided walk through Folly Farm’s ancient woodland and rare meadows.

Reboot your team’s mental agility as they compete against the clock and each other to find and collect animal models positioned across the Folly Farm reserve.
