Explore Our Commitment to Nature, Education and Wellbeing
New Leaf Nature and Wellbeing is our little corner of woodland where nature, creativity and community come together. Set in 14 acres of woodland in Cheshire, it is a place where people can slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with the natural world in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Our Story
We are passionate about nature, wildlife and the positive effect that time outdoors can have on health and wellbeing. New Leaf Nature and Wellbeing was created to offer people a chance to step away from the pressure of everyday life, spend time in the woods and experience the calm, learning and enjoyment that nature can bring.
Our mission is to inspire and support people and groups through immersive, nature-based experiences that promote health, learning, and balance.
What we do
We run a wide mix of woodland-based experiences for individuals, families, schools, groups and businesses. These include wellbeing workshops, forest bathing, family nature days, school and group education sessions, corporate wellbeing days and basic bushcraft for all ages. Everything we do is designed to be accessible, down to earth and enjoyable.
Learning, wellbeing and connection
Our events are designed to help people connect or reconnect with nature in a way that feels simple and real. Some visitors come to relax and recharge, some come to learn practical woodland skills, and others come to enjoy shared time outdoors with family, friends, colleagues or groups. The common thread is always the same — time in nature, meaningful experience and a chance to feel better.
Handmade from the woodland
As well as hosting events, we also use the woodland as a source of inspiration and sustainable materials. We create handmade craft items, rustic outdoor furniture and other bespoke wooden pieces using timber from the forest, always working with care and respect for the environment around us.
What is a yurt?
A yurt is a round, wooden-framed structure traditionally used as a strong, practical and breathable shelter that stays closely connected to the natural world. Our bespoke yurts are handmade using natural and sustainable resources from the woodland, creating beautiful, functional spaces that feel warm, grounded and in harmony with their surroundings.
At the heart of it all is a simple aim: to help people reconnect with nature, learn something new, enjoy time outdoors and leave feeling better than when they arrived.
Whether you want outdoor adventures, educational workshops, or team-building activities, our options provide meaningful experiences that inspire learning and personal growth. Join us to explore and enjoy the beauty and calm of nature.
