Mental Health & Wellbeing in the Outdoors

Spend time with others in a safe and welcoming group.  Discover new things about the world around you by exploring Scotland’s landscapes and habitats. Take gentle exercise. Learn traditional crafts and skills like weaving, and natural firelighting. Develop new skills and gain qualifications like the John Muir Award. Make a real contribution to conservation through our native wildflower restoration project.

“I haven’t smiled for a long time, but being outdoors in the fresh air, with encouraging company felt good. Anyone feeling isolated from society should give this a try as the benefits from fresh air make a huge difference” Participant
