live well with nature
The live well with nature programme formed as a partnership between Shropshire Wildlife Trust and Telford & Wrekin Council but has sadly now ended.
If you would like to improve health & wellbeing through conservation activities please search online with your local town and the words 'conservation volunteer' as there are over 20 groups active across Telford operating on Telford & Wrekin’s many local nature reserves and green spaces.
A 2017 report 'Understanding Telford and Wrekin' highlighted 15,938 adults aged 16-64 were living with a long-term health problem or disability limiting their daily activities.
There is however growing evidence that accessing nature has multiple health benefits and in return nature benefits from receiving the care and attention required to ensure its long-term future.
