Wild wellbeing

Our Wild Wellbeing

Evidence shows that a thriving, wildlife-rich environment benefits both physical and mental health.

People with nature on their doorstep are more active, mentally resilient and have better all-round health. Every day, the Trust is working to bring wildlife to more people, and more people to wildlife. Get involved and make socialising, volunteering and exercise in natural places central to your daily life.

Daily contact with nature is linked to better health, reduced levels of chronic stress, reductions in obesity and improved concentration. The Wildlife Trusts are rooted in local communities and neighbourhoods, so we can help more people access local nature spots.

We believe that everyone deserves to live in a healthy, wildlife-rich natural world and experience the joy of wildlife every day: for the wellbeing of people and wildlife.
