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.

- 25 or over
- Live in Preston City Council’s area for council tax
