Nature is good for us. A healthy environment supports resilient communities and infrastructure, a thriving economy, and time is nature is proven to benefit mental and physical health.
Nature is good for us, and a partnership approach is essential to maximise the benefits for nature, communities, and the economy.
Spending time in nature, either as a leisure activity or as part of day-to-day life, is proven to benefit mental and physical health – people with doorstep access to nature are more active, resilient, and healthier.
Nature also provides clean air and water, supports the production of healthy food, cools the environment, alleviates flooding, and supports our local economy. Nature is an asset and essential infrastructure for thriving communities, places, and economies.
