Having begun in 2025 on Earth day we are finishing our seasonal quarterly walks the week of Earth day 2026: a full rotation of the Earth.  Delighted to have had regulars as well as new people on each of the walks. Please join us in celebration of community – both human and the more than human world.  

As part of the community festival hosted each year by the CCA, you are welcome to join Lydia Stevens and Anna Brown to enjoy walking through the spectacular rewilding landscape in the Knepp Estate.

We warmly welcome all people developers (coaches, facilitators, trainers, supervisors, consultants etc) to join us for a walk around Knepp. The walk will be at a gentle pace, allowing time to regroup and pause to appreciate our surroundings (roughly 5-8km). Knepp is a demonstration of allowing nature to regenerate. Please bring binoculars to see the wildlife. We might see some of Knepp’s famous breeding storks, free-roaming old English longhorn cattle, Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies and deer.

This stunning landscape will set the scene for nature connection and community. You will learn for yourself how Knepp has enabled biodiversity to flourish in unexpected and unintended ways over the last 20 years. We want our time together to be equally free roaming and emergent, so there will be no fixed topic of conversation or agenda. We are keen to invite whatever conversation wants to happen.

You may wish to arrive early to join us for an informal lunch at the fabulous Wilding Kitchen Café at Knepp, where they celebrate the very best of produce from the Estate. Highly recommend!

*The walk is free to join and open to all. Arriving for lunch is optional and at your own expense.*

Once registered, we will invite you to a WhatsApp group to help you self-organise into lift shares or station pick-ups and to begin to connect with each other. [The closest station to Knepp is Horsham.]

Do get in touch with Lydia (lydia@climatebiodiversitycoaching.com) or Anna (anna8brownie@gmail.com) if you have any questions! We very much look forward to welcoming you to Knepp to celebrate the Autumn season with us.
