About Catkin & Conker
​Catkin & Conker exists to build meaningful connections between people and nature. When we feel rooted in the natural world, we are likely to feel happier, more emotionally balanced, and more at home in ourselves. We feel a sense of purpose; we feel like we belong.
At Catkin & Conker, we create opportunities to explore the wild world beyond our front doors - awakening wonder, whatever our age or stage of life. Whether it’s mud-painting with tots, campfire cooking with kids, willow weaving with ‘hens’, or bringing the seasons indoors for care home residents, each session aims to engage the senses and renew our appreciation for the million tiny miracles unfolding around us every day.
"Nature always wears the colours of the spirit." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who runs Catkin & Conker?
​Hi, I’m Lucy. I’ve been lucky to spend a whole career working with people and nature as an environmental educator, a forest school leader, a teacher trainer (in forest schools and outdoor learning), a wildlife project officer and a community gardener. I’ve learned from some pretty wonderful people along the way. Creating Catkin & Conker has allowed me to weave my experience and passion into something that offers others a chance to slow down, reconnect, and find joy in nature - whatever their age or background.
