3 months ago

Dumfries, United Kingdom Dumfries and Galloway Outdoor and Woodland Learning Group (DGOWL) CIC Full time

Dumfries and Galloway Outdoor and Woodland Learning Group (DGOWL) CIC is a regional group of Outdoor & Woodland Learning Scotland (OWL Scotland). We are dedicated to increasing the use of Dumfries and Galloway's outdoor environments for learning.

Our aims are:

- Increasing first hand learning experiences
- Supporting Learning for Sustainability
- Improving health and well-being through outdoor learning
- Increasing skills, knowledge and understanding of outdoor environments

One of our main projects to do this is Branching Out.

Branching Out is a Scottish adult referral nature prescription programme developed by Scottish Forestry. Ideally 12 participants attend for 3 hours of woodland activities per week for 12 weeks. Activities are adapted to suit the client group, site and time of year and generally include - gentle physical activity, conservation activities, bush craft and environmental art. On completion participants receive a certificate of achievements and can gain a John Muir Discovery Award. Graduates are encouraged to join other community-based activities/groups after completion. Branching Out runs in all mainland health board areas.

In Dumfries and Galloway there are 6 DGOWL Branching Out Leaders who were trained through an initial grant from the Alcohol and Drugs Partnership (ADP). Here Branching Out focuses on breaking down barriers including geographic and economic barriers to accessing Branching Out. The programme delivers across Dumfries and Galloway and takes account of its wide range of outdoor spaces and the widespread population with its associated health issues. Participants are given suitable outdoor clothing to enable them to take part and assisted with transport.

Our funding to this point has included ADP, NHS Endowments Funding, Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund and Scottish Forestry. In 2024 this will help us to deliver 2 Spring programmes and employ the project officer.
