NATURE IS GOOD FOR YOU
Being outdoors and connecting with nature has huge benefits for our health, especially during this difficult time. Studies have shown that it contributes to lower levels of anxiety and stress. Taking actions to help nature not only makes us feel good, it also helps fight biodiversity loss and the impacts of climate change. Small, simple actions can make a big difference to all our lives.
Spending time in nature is good for our physical and mental health. There are plenty of simple things that we can all do to help nature in our garden or local area this Winter. #NatureisGoodForYou
