Rewilding project set in 54 acres of Wiltshire woodland and meadows. Found Outdoors is an outdoor education project founded by us, Fiona and Rich Cassidy.

We focus on education, art, nature recovery, art and wellbeing, helping people of all ages (re)connect with the natural world 🌳🍃 In 2020 we packed in our jobs and bought 54 acres of woodland and meadows to help children and adults reconnect with nature through forest school, site visits, educational days and events. We work with individuals, schools, charities, universities and many other organisa

tions. VISITING FOUND OUTDOORS: For visits and what we're currently up to please see our website. In the near future we hope to host talks, film nights, multi day residentials and much more.

A great way to spend the weekend!

Saturday we hosted the second ‘Dream. Do. Disrupt’ gathering.

The brainchild of Grace and Ja from , in Grace’s words it’s “a space to be around other grassroots-loving, community-minded, change makers and discerning disruptors”

In other words small, local, non profit, orgs connecting and collaborating and spurring one another on.

As part of a packed day, Grace Farrimond, florist, and now owner of .housecafe in Trowbridge talked about her current business, her journey and motivations.

All in all, a wonderfully inspiring day of conversation and motivation with a fantastic group of people.

Dream. Do. Disrupt!

This evening we joined a packed house at for a very special talk with - author of Finding The Mother Tree and her new book When The Forest Breathes.

It was amazing to meet someone whose work is so groundbreaking, foundational and globally important. Honestly, this is not overstating it.

Additionally as someone who spent my childhood in the woods - as I do once more as an adult - its extraordinary to meet the scientist who’s book has changed the life way i look at our land and whose work comes up almost weekly in conversations with people here.

We were so grateful to have had the opportunity to hear her speak and meet her. Maybe I should consider attending her university in Vancouver! What a dream 🌳

We can’t recommend her books enough - go read them. Now! 😀 Just not from Amazon, thanks.

Our first ever Star Gazing and Astronomy evening with astronomer Paul Hill was AMAZING! 🌟

Thank you so much to Paul for a brilliant talk and everyone else for coming to our little off grid event space!

We had telescopes, spacesuits (yes, real ones, worn by actual astronauts!), science experiments and loo roll!!*

“What an absolutely amazing experience! The stargazing event was phenomenal from start to finish. Paul was incredibly professional and so knowledgeable—his passion really brought the night sky to life.”

We’ve got loads more events booking right now from bat walks to wellbeing, rewilding talks and so much more.

* the loo roll was used as an interactive prop for gauging planetary distances (obviously)!

We’re checking the frog and toad tadpoles about every three days now.

The ponds aren’t even three years old yet so there’s not much cover for amphibians. We’re adding cover around the waters edge and on the bunds (the earth banks around the ponds). We’ve even planted a couple of trees.

There’s ducks, herons and - today - Canada geese all looking for snacks! Not to mention potentially badgers.

The folk (who dug the ponds) are back in May to do some more eDNA testing to check for GCN activity! 🦎
