Green spaces are the beating heart of the UK. Great for exercise, enjoying nature, or simply getting out of our home office, this country has a wealth of natural spaces on offer, for everyone. All offer a key mental break, and all are vital to us and our planet’s intertwined futures.

My name is Nicola, and I’m a 3rd year university student studying Geography at The University of Nottingham. Currently I am volunteering on a placement with The Sherwood Forest Trust.

As Christmas creeps nearer, our minds turn to presents.  But not all gifts come in shiny wrapping paper.  During the national Covid “Lockdown” we all became more aware what a blessing it is to escape into nature.

The Sherwood Forest Trust – the only charity entirely focussed on Sherwood Forest – is 25 years old this November.
