Walking in the woods with K-Woodlands

VASLan Development Officers, Lisa and Sarah, visited K - Woodlands on Wednesday, 1^st of June, for Volunteers’ Week. K-Woodlands is part of the East Kilbride Community Trust. Its aim is to increase health benefits and mental wellbeing by providing safe and accessible woodland, and they have transformed the neglected woodland to be a space that is used and valued by the local community.

We went along on one of their weekly Health Walks through the beautiful woodland, and spoke to Paula, the manager of the service, about their many exciting expansion plans for the future, and the varied work they’re doing currently with the help of their regular volunteers. Paula spoke about how essential the work of her volunteers is for providing their service and talked about how thankful she is for the committed volunteers who show up every week to help out.
