Discovering, Noticing & Conserving Your Local Flora & Fauna
Our Movement
Observing, Noticing, Recording, Protecting - Plants, Animals & Other Living Things
The Community Ecology Movement was founded to help people connect more deeply with nature through mindful outdoor experiences, environmental education, and citizen science.
​
Our activities encourage people to slow down, engage their senses, improve wellbeing, and discover the remarkable wildlife and habitats on their doorstep. Along the way, participants can learn practical skills for observing, identifying, and recording species, helping to contribute valuable biological records that support conservation.
​
You don't need to be an ecological surveyor to make a difference. With a little guidance, anyone can learn to appreciate, understand, and help protect the natural world while enjoying the many physical and mental wellbeing benefits
of spending time in nature.
Our Intiatives ... get in touch
Wildlife Ecology Walks
The Community Ecology Movement offers guided wildlife and ecology walks, bat walks and talks, and introductory citizen science experiences designed to help people discover the remarkable plants, animals, and habitats on their doorstep.
​
Whether you're interested in learning about local wildlife, developing your identification skills, or contributing to biological recording, our activities provide a practical introduction to ecology in the field. No previous experience is required - just curiosity and a passion for the natural world.
Mindfulness & Attention-Based Practice in Nature
Alongside our wildlife experiences, we offer nature-based wellbeing sessions that invite people to slow down, engage their senses, and build a deeper relationship with the natural world.
​
Drawing on mindfulness in nature, ecopsychology, and land-based listening practices, these sessions create space for reflection, curiosity, and meaningful connection with place. Whether through gentle walks, guided practices, or group gatherings, our aim is to help people experience nature in a more attentive and restorative way.
