At Nature & Health Practice Network (NHP) we know there are multiple, evidenced, holistic benefits for people's health  when individuals and groups are facilitated, professionally, in natural settings.

​

NHP is about connecting people to nature for their health and wellbeing.  Through  this nature connectedness pro-environmental behaviours are encouraged and therefore greater care & support  for the natural world can emerge. 

 

We have formed a practice network for Green Care, Nature Health and Wellbeing, Eco Therapy and other nature based approaches. This network can be a voice, advocate and professional body for the developing sector

​

This network will:

​

• Establish some of the key standards and quality assurance needed for partners, funders, commissioners, participants and practitioners to feel that they are offering a safe, effective and professional service. 

​

• Be a place that supports and encourages practitioners to deliver this best possible service to their communities. 

​
