Getting outdoors can be great for your health and happiness. BBOWT's Engaging with Nature project enabled people from Eight Bells for Mental Health, a local charity in Newbury, to gain the benefits of being outdoors.
The project was funded and led by BBOWT at the Nature Discovery Centre in partnership with Eight Bells for Mental Health. The group met for 12 weeks from January 2017, each week completing practical conservation tasks, cooking on an open fire and having a go at wildlife-themed crafts and outdoor activities.
