• Bring Back Guy's Cliffe need you to help restore this Historical landmark back to its former glory. Guy's Cliffe has a long and varied history. From its humble beginnings as a secluded place of worship in the 5th century... The legends of Sir Guy of ÌÇÐÄTV which secured its place in folklore... The establishment of a chapel in the 15th century by will of King Henry V... The Tudor period ownership as a timber-framed house!
• ÌÇÐÄTV Volunteers will be helping with general conservation work, helping to cut back overgrown bushes and trees. Full training will be given on the day.

We invite PGR students to take 30 minutes to join us for a walk, get some fresh air, connect with others and explore campus in a sociable and inclusive way.
All walks are guided by walk leaders.
Flat and non-slip footwear is recommended.

Every Tuesday between 2pm and 3pm in the Wolfson Research Exchange, drop in at PGR Wellbeing Hour and speak to us and members of Wellbeing Support Services - leave us a wellbeing tip in exchange for some tea, coffee or fruit, or come and read the other tips for some inspiration!

This activity includes the following sessions:

• Looking at the Barry Flannigan sculpture of the Hare acrobats, use charcoal to do drawings of the sculpture, choosing different angles and perspectives, several quick sketches and changing positions/viewpoints several times.
• Recycling a plastic bottle to make a self-watering planter for your windowsill, to grow spinach, lambs lettuce, or herbs. (Bring along an old 1.25L-2L plastic bottle, if you have one ready to recycle).
• Wandering through campus on a trail, discovering sculptures you may not have seen before. Leave your own land art for others to find… leaf circles and patterns, stick stacks and woven ‘nests’ miniature stone circles etc…
• Visit the Barry Flannagan sculpture and make your own sculpture of a hare.
• Collecting wheelbarrows of autumn leaves to turn into leaf mulch and a spot of relaxed weeding.
• Taking a tea light candle on a trail of discovering tree spells and messages. Leaving our own messages and spells in the trees.
• Clearing out our beds outside and in our polytunnel, ready for the winter, and possibly planting some autumn-growing vegetables too!
• Making seed bombs out of clay, soil, and wildflower seeds that can be dried out and later used for a small bit of ‘guerrilla gardening’.

Session order will depend on the weather and how the seasons change this year.
