your joining hands look forward to many blissful days ahead

WWF and the Mental Health Foundation have come together to produce this guide for you. If you find that your mental health is being affected by the coronavirus outbreak then visit the Mental Health Foundation's mental health and coronavirus hub. We hope everyone takes the opportunity to read this guide and safely enjoys the amazing mental health benefits offered by the natural world. And the mental health benefits of being in nature are as important as ever. Some destinations may be hard to reach while we are discouraged from using public transport, and some sites may themselves be currently closed to visitors.Įven so, most of this guide’s suggestions about connecting with nature remain easy to follow and open to most of us.

This means following the latest guidance from the government where we live, whether it’s England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland – or beyond.Ī small number of our suggested activities may now be difficult or impossible. However, we ask everyone who uses this guide to do so in ways that are safe for themselves and others around them. We believe it is now more important than ever for everyone to enjoy the remarkable mental health benefits of connecting with nature. Since WWF and the Mental Health Foundation have created the ‘Thriving With Nature’ guide, the coronavirus pandemic has changed all our lives.

Your joining hands look forward to many blissful days ahead
