Exciting things are happening in Keighley! We have teamed up with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Street Space and Better Place Bradford to deliver an inspiring new project called Nature’s Way. Funded by Bradford Council, the project is all about helping inner-city communities bring neglected outdoor spaces back to life, creating greener, healthier neighbourhoods for both people and wildlife.

Litter picks around Bracken Bank are just the beginning...

New research from The Wildlife Trust highlights a harsh reality: too many people are being left without easy access to nature, despite the proven benefits for health, wellbeing and quality of life. Across England, 44% of parliamentary constituencies have low access to green and blue spaces within a 15-minute walk of where they live.

These findings won't surprise many people in Bradford. We regularly meet local residents who want to spend more time in nature but face barriers such as limited nearby green spaces, poor transport links or a lack of confidence about getting outdoors.

The benefits of nature for wellbeing are clear, but access to those benefits remains unequal. That's why we're passionate about creating opportunities for people to connect with nature close to home and making sure everyone can experience the positive impact it can have on health, confidence and community life.

Keep an eye on our page and learn about opportunities for you to get out more.

Feeling overwhelmed by modern life? Forest bathing is a simple practice of slowing down and mindfully connecting with nature. Research suggests it can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, support immune health, improve sleep, and boost mental wellbeing. Best of all, you don't actually need a forest! Your local park or green space can provide the same opportunity to unplug, recharge, and reconnect. 🍃

Get Out More's Annie Berrington will be leading some Forest Bathing sessions at EcoFest this weekend at Cliffe Castle (see previous post for details). Head to the Wellbeing Zone and join walks from 12pm-12.45pm, 1pm-1.45pm, and 2pm-2.45pm.
