About the Project

The UK is in the top 10% of nature depleted countries globally. The World Health Organisation estimates that mental illness will be the biggest health issue globally by 2030. Human health and the state of the planet are inextricably linked. Many people and communities are struggling with their mental and physical health, alongside escalating climate change, unprecedented biodiversity loss and rising levels of pollution. These challenges are all symptoms of the same problem - we have broken our relationship with the natural world.

The UK-wide ‘Nature: Connections and Recovery Project’ will respond to these challenges by reaching people and communities experiencing poverty, disadvantage and discrimination and engaging them in co-producing local solutions and resources to support the skills needed to help mitigate the climate crisis. Building on Eden Project’s ‘Nature Connections’ programme and National Wildflower Centre, and our collaboration with Lancashire Wildlife Trusts ‘The Bay Project’, we will bring to bear our shared experience in community led change, social prescribing and nature recovery projects to demonstrate how nature connection can address climate change and the mental health crisis.

Working with local people, the programme will provide ideas and inspiration to enable people to take planet positive action where they live and contribute to the climate challenge. Collaborating with ‘The Bay Project’ and local community and voluntary sector organisations, we will run a range of nature recovery, food growing and art-based projects to help engage local people in climate positive action, especially those who are facing mental health challenges.

The project will also include a national campaign and local activities to engage people with nature and raise awareness of actions people can take to mitigate the effects of climate change, demonstrating the connection between positive action for both people and planet. In doing so building a strong, connected and healthy community that benefits people and planet and improves individual health and well-being.

Participants will range in age from young people to adults and many will face multiple disadvantages, including mental ill-health. By engaging with our programme, they will have opportunities to increase t...
