Nature Therapy

Nature Therapy 

Through our Nature is our Right campaign we are embarking on a Therapy through nature project with communities supporting clients with mental and physical health problems. Clients, their teachers and parents are being engaged in nature therapy activities, including the creation and upkeep of a community edible garden, pollinator friendly areas and bee keeping. The clients are also being encouraged to carry out hands-on work each week in the area. We are currently looking for volunteers mainly to help with the upkeeping of the garden. Should you be interested in supporting us we'll be happy to hear from you.
