Our Passion for Green Connection
Our work, which is now supported by recent funding from the Community Lottery, is centred around the Wirral Peninsula, with a particular emphasis on Hilbre Island in the Dee estuary.
Green Connection is a holistic well-being approach that harnesses the restorative power of nature to promote physiological and psychological health. Merseyside, blessed with an abundance of parks, country parks, and natural environments like Hilbre Island, presents a unique opportunity for us to offer this valuable experience to the community.
Our initiative complements the wonderful work being done by community gardens, community farms, and various environmental activities, including tree planting. What sets Green Connection apart is its distinctive focus on using nature as a catalyst for holistic well-being, emphasizing the unique benefits that nature interaction can bring. We're excited to continue this meaningful work with the support of our recent funding.
Start Where You Are, But Why Green Connection?
- Scientifically Proven Benefits: Numerous studies have highlighted the positive impact of spending time in nature on mental health, stress reduction, and overall well-being. We are committed to bringing these evidence-based benefits to your community. —Some studies even show positive results in lowering blood pressure and blood sugar.
- Outdoor Education Expertise: Green Connection is backed by a team of experienced outdoor educators who have a deep understanding of how to facilitate meaningful and transformative nature experiences. We've successfully used these skills in the past and are eager to share them with others.
- Building Resilience: Our program not only offers relaxation, calm, and serenity but also nurtures essential life skills such as confidence and resilience. These qualities can have a profound impact on various aspects of life.
