The nature and wellbeing service is an exciting and innovative ecotherapy offer run by Lancashire Wildlife Trust. We work with anyone aged 18+, that is feeling anxious, isolated, or has poor mental health, and lives in Bolton.
Primarily we are a service which is all about getting outside to experience the many benefits of being out in nature. Face-to-face sessions take place weekly at Seven Acres Country Park. We offer small groups of people the chance to learn about nature and wellbeing alongside our trained team. Nature and wellbeing service aims to help participants feel better connected, meet new people, learn about nature, improve wellbeing and start to look positively to the future. Empowering people and their communities to connect with local environments in order to learn new skills, build resilience, and improve their physical health and mental wellbeing. We are passionate about nature and a core focus of all our sessions is to help nature and aid its recovery.
The service comprises of weekly outdoor practical sessions, led by a fully trained member of staff. The activities/themes will vary from session-to-session dependent on the season and group, but will all relate back to at least one of the five ways to wellbeing - Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Learn and Give. Sessions are based around nature and will follow one of our five key themes; bushcraft, wildlife walks, growing, practical conservation and mindfulness. Examples include: fire lighting, ID walks, invasive plant removal, nature drawing and making bird boxes.
