Canopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests), these adventures give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm, and provide a deeper opportunity to feel the rhythms of the land, observe the comings and goings of migratory birds, watch the bud and bloom of native and invasive plants, swat mosquitoes, and dodge raindrops!
Part nature journaling, part phenological record-keeping, these explorations are a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow.
Bring your journal, your sketchbook, your camera and your senses.
$10 per person. If cost is a barrier, get in touch at arts@pnfarm.com and you will be welcome!
