National Forest Walking Festival is Back!
S
USPENDED FOR THE past two years, the National Forest Walking Festival is back with lots of different types of walks taking place throughout the forest, making it accessible to all. Local community group, Ministry of Nordic Walks, will be leading some of them in nearby Groby, Ratby, Markfield and Thornton as well as providing some bluebell walks and some Nordic walking courses in the National Forest in early May.
Pet sitters wanted!
May is national walking month and is one of the best times to be outdoors in the National Forest. The drama of spring blossom, the heady scent of bluebells carpeting ancient woods, and the chance to see wildlife in abundance are all wonderful for the mind and soul.
PET SITTERS are in high demand these days, as millions of people have returned to work, and must leave their cats and dogs during each day.
Look out for the surprising range of wildlife in and around the Forest, and marvel at the geological stories beneath your feet. Included are many “wildlife” themed walks giving plenty of opportunity to celebrate and learn about nature.
According to the British Pet Food Manufacturers Association, one in ten households welcomed a new pet during the first seven months of lockdown. According to Adzuna, a job search website, a pet sitter can now earn an average salary of £24,000 a year for pet sitting.
The booklet containing the many different and varied walks (including history and geology walks, forest bathing, Nordic walking, trail running and of course nature walks) can be downloaded from the website https://www.nationalforest.org/visit/national-forestwalking-festival and the walking festival takes place between the 14th – 26th May.
