queer nature club south west
A community of folks (LGBTQIA+ & allies) who are interested in exploring ideas of queer nature and going on walks or expeditions together to local landscapes and nature reserves in the Southwest of England.
Activities are queer affirming and queer-led, the programme is designed to be as open and accessible as possible.
In 2024-5 we made a zine together.
In Summer 2026 we’ll be making a banner together- for pride parades later in the year and 2027.
To join our mailing list drop us a line: socialmaterialcic@gmail.com
