Growing medical evidence shows that access to the natural environment is good for us and if used in the right way, represents our Natural Health Service - a treatment which is cost effective and free.

Access to green space has been shown to:

• reduce stress levels.
• encourage people to be more active, which is very good for health.
• help prevent people getting ill.
• help people keep stable once they have got an illness.
• Prolong life.
