Steps for Nature: 10,000 steps a day to support outdoor learning and biodiversity at Bore Place
Challenge yourself to walk 10,000 steps a day, every day, throughout March to support our outdoor education activities, habitat management, and biodiversity.
Take on a personal challenge or take part with a team of friends or colleagues. You can take part wherever you are - on your commute, in your local park, or out on a run - and improve your health and wellbeing whilst raising funds to make a real difference to our work.
Over 200 young people take part in educational outdoor learning experiences at Bore Place each week, the majority of whom have special educational needs and disabilities. We also work to protect and enhance wildlife habitats across our 500 acres of publicly accessible land, supporting biodiversity.
Every step makes a real difference to the work we can achieve for young people, our community and for nature. So grab your boots, fill your flask and start your watch – let’s get moving for nature and learning! We will support you every step of the way…
