Back to the Future

Future Walking

When taking people into the outdoors we can have a huge impact on how they experience it. It doesn’t just depend on the weather. The quality of people’s experiences in the outdoors will influence the attitudes and values they form about the natural environment and their relationship with it. Our enthusiasm plays an important role. But there are other important factors that influence how people experience the outdoors. This workshop will help you to make outdoor experiences even more enjoyable, rewarding and meaningful.
