SUMMARY:Peterborough Area Nature Girls: Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Nature Girls is a group for all women who enjoy nature and the outdoors to meet like-minded people\, whilst spending time in nature. The is a launch event for activities in Peterborough.

We will mostly just be chatting (!) but we might also do some wildlife identification along the way. We will start and finish at the wonderful Green Backyard community garden and will take some time on the session to look around. This is a perfect opportunity to help shape this new group and suggest activities that you would like to see in the future. \nAfter the session\, there is the option to head over to a nearby cafe for lunch or a coffee.. This is not an official part of the session\, (nor is it funded)…just an extra chance to socialise! \nThese events are aimed at women aged 18+\, and we are building on the success of the group founded in Northamptonshire. Find out more on the dedicated page on our website\, and join our Nature Girls Facebook group. \nAdditional information \nPlease refer to our event terms and conditions webpage for details on cancellations\, as well as general information about how we run our events.\nThere will not be access to toilets for this session (unless you join us for lunch at the cafe after)
