Nature4Health kicks off for 2016

07 January 2016

Yesterday saw the first Partnership Event for our Nature4Health project bringing together representatives from community organisations, land managers and academics from across the Forest.

 

Community officers, forest school leaders and researchers from a wide range of organisations including Riverside Housing, the Cass Foundation, TCV, the Land Trust, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool University, Knowsley Council, 1st Enable and Ecolibrium descended on Risley Moss for a morning of presentations and presentations.

 

Nature4Health is a three year project funded by The Big Lottery's Reaching Communities Programme to tackle health inequalities. Over the next three years a series of activities will take place in targeted communities across The Mersey Forest including Liverpool, Sefton and St.Helens.

 

The scheme provides high quality, evidence-based sessions utilising the assets of the local natural environment. It's about providing health-promoting, enjoyable group activities in a green, therapeutic environment.


The first activity for 2016 kicked off today with a TCV Green Gym session at the Countess of Chester Health Park.
