Natural Choices aims to enable people to improve their physical health and mental wellbeing through activities within the natural environment in Dorset.
In partnership with the NHS, the Wildlife Trusts have developed a national survey to gather views on how nature can benefit people's health.
This is an important way of ensuring that nature is included in public healthcare in future! 🩺🌿
