Thought I'd give a plug to Nature's Gym, for all those people who want to get fit and improve the environment at the same time.

 It offers a chance for people to improve their fitness by taking part in environmental conservation activities in local Nature Reserves and Parks.  A number of these session will take place in our area.

Nature's Gym sessions take place every Thursday and once a month on a Saturday from 11am-2pm. Full training is given on the day by an experienced leader, who will also be able to answers any questions or relieve and concerns a volunteer may have on the day.  Being and working outdoors has a number of benefits, the sessions not only give you a physical workout, but being in green spaces can be a great way to relieve stress and reduce depression. 

For the current programme of sessions please use the link below, where you will also find more information about this and other volunteering opportunities in the Borough.
