What is green social prescribing?
Green social prescribing links people with nature-based activities to improve their health and wellbeing. Activities are varied and can include community gardening, conservation volunteering, walking groups and arts and cultural activities which take place outdoors.
Taking part in nature-based activities can benefit both mental and physical health. Evidence shows that increased connection with nature can support:
- improved mood
- increased activity levels
- improved physical health
- improved confidence and self esteem
- reduce depression, loneliness and anxiety
- new friendships and feeling part of the community
