Free nature and wellbeing sessions in Preston

The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside is offering free nature and wellbeing sessions to residents and service users with a ‘PR’ postcode to help people reconnect with nature in a gentle, participant-led way.

Each session is different but includes activities relating to five key themes:

  • Wildlife walks
  • Bushcraft
  • Gardening projects
  • Practical conservation
  • Mindful environments

     

Research has shown that these activities can reduce stress, anxiety and many low level mental health conditions whilst also improving physical fitness, health and wellbeing.

 

If you are:

  • Economically inactive (e.g have a long term health condition meaning you can’t work, a stay at home parent or a full-time carer)
  • 25 or over
  • Live in Preston City Council’s area for council tax
  • Eligible to live and work in the United Kingdom
