Ecotherapy at St Nicks

Ecotherapy promotes mental and physical wellbeing through outdoor activity in the natural environment. At St Nicks we offer Ecotherapy groups including Conservation, Gardening, Discovering Nature, Art, Creative Writing, Eco Book Club & Woodwork. 

Groups are nature-centred and occur both at our 24-acre Nature Reserve and along York's green corridors. All of the activities are led by qualified and experienced tutors and are free to participants. Ecotherapy members also have access to one-to-one mentor support alongside the group programme. You can get in touch to find out about vacancies, or talk to your GP about social prescriptions.

This winter, we have received funding to operate as a Warm Space and our participants will also have the chance to spend time socialising and relaxing in a warm environment.
