Live Wild: Nature Queers

Join Live Wild to connect to nature, self and community

  • Booking essential

Following the success of our pilot programme last year, we’re delighted to announce our 2025 Nature Queers events at the National Trust’s gorgeous Hardcastle Crags.

This beautiful wooded valley just outside Hebden Bridge is one of the region’s most beautiful and biodiverse outdoor places. We welcome all LGBTQ+ folks to join us in connecting with nature, self and community, while learning a range of practical outdoor skills in a playful and supportive environment.

Nature Queers is about creating spaces to meet and develop a nature-loving LGBTQ+ community. During the sessions, Leonie, Rachael, and occasional guest facilitators including Ash Brachi of Hebden Herbs will share skills such as bushcraft, foraging, fire skills, natural crafting, whittling, survival skills, shelter building, and herbalism.

Each session will also include nature connection practices that encourage a sense of belonging, safety, and peace in the outdoors.

Both experienced outdoors-people, and people new to the outdoors, are equally welcome to join us as we create a relaxed and welcoming space where we can learn in nature, and in queer community.

Each session will focus on a practical skill Including:

Bushcraft and fire skills Nature crafting, such as weaving and cordage making Whittling and green wood working Wild food foraging Survival skills such as shelter building and water filtration Herbalism and plant lore Creating art using nature as inspiration
