Good Natured: walking for wellbeing

Good Natured: walking for wellbeing

Whether it’s a woodland walk, a wild swim, or a mosey around a garden, we’ve all experienced the effects of nature on our wellbeing. Here at the Trust we know this too well, which is why we’ve launched our Walk 25 campaign – see below.

This week on the podcast, Jackie explores the science behind this phenomenon to discover why the natural world can have such a powerful influence on our health and mood.

Professor Kathy Willis of the University of Oxford joins Jackie to reveal her findings in this area, and to offer some top tips to boost the positive effects of nature.
