On 13 March 2026, The Guardian featured the work of Dose of Nature as part of a wider story on how nature-based therapy is supporting people living with mental illness.

For many participants, the impact has been profound. One described the experience simply as “it has changed my life,” while others spoke about feeling calmer, more connected, and better able to cope.

At Dose of Nature, our work is grounded in the belief that mental healthcare should be integrated, preventative, and community-based. Nature-based therapy is not about replacing existing services, but strengthening them — offering clinically led, evidence-based support that works alongside traditional care.

Our recent randomised controlled trial with the London School of Economics found that structured nature prescriptions can significantly improve outcomes for anxiety and depression, while also reducing costs. These findings reflect what participants already know: that time in nature, when guided and purposeful, can play a meaningful role in recovery.

As the Guardian article highlights, this approach is gaining recognition not just for its impact, but for its potential to reshape how mental health support is delivered in the future.

We are incredibly grateful to the participants, clinicians, partners and funders who are helping make this work possible.
