Dose of Nature at the Surrey Hills Symposium 2019
Dose of Nature was featured as a case study at the 2019 Surrey Hills Symposium on the 'Natural Health Service'
On the 27th of November, Dose of Nature attended the Surrey Hills Symposium 2019 on the Natural Health Service - harnessing the benefits of nature for health. We were honoured to have been featured as an example of the nature interventions delivered within Surrey to improve mental health, alongside other organisations. We were also pleased to see our Founding Director Dr Alison Greenwood's Doctoral research on nature and young people being presented by Dr Birgitta Gatersleben, an Environmental Psychologist, in her talk on 'restoring young minds in the Surrey Hills'. Dr William Bird, GP and expert on the Natural Health Service, also attended and delivered an inspiring talk on how nature can improve our health and wellbeing.
