Connecting with nature at home

Maintaining a connection with the natural world is more important than ever to ensure we're taking good care of our health and wellbeing - just a bit of time every day spent in nature can help relieve stress. There are plenty of ways to stay active and connected to nature without visiting a reserve - maybe learning a new skill such as outdoor yoga or wildlife gardening.
