Health and Wellbeing



Research shows that just being in nature can have a positive impact on mental and physical health and can enhance one’s mood.

The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) is working with partners to expand access to green space and to provide people with more opportunities to get outside.

You can read a version of the SDNPA’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy here. There is also a summary of the strategy.
