A toddler taking part in the nature-based toddler group
PENDLE Hill Landscape Partnership is celebrating its first year of their outdoor toddler group, Little Saplings.
The forest inspired events launched in September 2018, in the first year of the Pendle Hill project.
Since last September, 780 children participants have attended 42 sessions, accompanied by 648 adults.
The group, which is fully funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and in partnership with the Ernest Cook Trust, has invited under five year olds to attend the bi-monthly Wednesday events at nature sites within Pendle and the Ribble Valley.
A group spokesman said: "It has been wonderful to watch Little Sapling participants grow in confidence of being in a woodland setting and knowledge of nature."
