Naturally Healthy

Friends sat with bikesIn our modern, hectic world there is clear evidence that taking the time to reconnect with the natural environment offers huge benefits for our physical and mental health and wellbeing. 

Many Naturally Healthy interventions offer a chance to learn new skills, meet new people and increase activity levels in a safe and supportive way. Regardless of age or fitness there is something for everyone. Our Naturally Healthy work is pulling together partners from the health, wellbeing, community, and environment sectors to ensure that we can all benefit from Devon’s fabulous natural environment.
