Westonbirt Arboretum Volunteer Sensory Guiding Opportunity for Visually Impaired People

As part of the Sensing Nature project re-storying landscapes for social inclusion three organisations have come together; Sensing Nature, Natural Inclusion and Westonbirt Arboretum to offer this fantastic opportunity for visually impaired people to become volunteer sensory guides at the stunning Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire.

Connect Radio’s Toby Davey chats with Sarah Bell from Sensing Nature and Andy Shipley from Natural Inclusion to find out more about this amazing opportunity for visually impaired people.

Sarah and Andy provide some background to both Sensing Nature and Natural Inclusion as well as how the Sensory Guide opportunity at Westonbirt Arboretum came about.

Sarah also explained a bit more about what they are looking for from potential visually impaired Sensory Guides and what visually impaired people will gain from being part of the project.

More information about the Sensory Guide opportunity at Westonbirt Arboretum can be found by either visiting the volunteering pages of the Westonbirt Arboretum website-
