Merlin Woods Walk
On 21 June 2026 we gathered at Merlin Woods for a guided walk led by Friends of Merlin Woods volunteers Caroline and Colin Stanley. We learned about the park’s history from Celtic and medieval times, up through its more recent uses as an estate, hospital, and community natural resource. We learned about native plants and animals and made new friends.
Spring Common Read
The Humanists West Spring 2026 Common Read was Michael Pollan’s A World Appears – A Journey Into Consciousness. Pollan’s identity as a humanist is challenged as he explores “what it is like” to be a conscious being.
