Community Ecologies
Yaya - Altar Building & Composting Our Grief In Community (January 2025)
Bethnal Green Nature Reserve is hosting an experimental, year-round programme of community-led co-learning workshops throughout 2025. Set in our ecologically rich reserve, these workshops offer a space for shared learning, creativity, and hands-on experimentation.
Open Call for Ideas
Twice a year, we invite individuals and groups to submit proposals for workshops, walks, talks, and experimental activities. Whether it's a hands-on craft, a discussion, or experimental research, we welcome ideas that connect people with the natural world and creative exploration. If you have an idea that sparks curiosity and deepens our relationship with the natural world, we’d love to hear from you! The next found of micro grant applications will be announced here in April 2025.
