Wellbeing & The Land Gang

Biodiversity Action Plan

Let’s save the hedgehogs. 

Watch the bees. 

Name the trees. 

Teach the evolution of our frogs and toads so the kids of today can show the kids of tomorrow. It’s our world! 

When an area of interest is identified, we document how humans, livestock, crops and man-made habitats exist there. We then observe the different species of plants, fungi, insects, birds and wildlife and document/photograph them. This soon becomes a captive interest, something that promotes you to skip through the 5 steps to positive wellbeing.  

 

Connect: Connecting with the people around us is a great way to remind ourselves that we’re important and valued by others. 

Be active: We know that there’s a link between staying active and positive mental health and wellbeing. 

Take Notice: Taking notice of our thoughts, emotions and surroundings is a great way to stay present and pay attention to our needs 

Keep learning: Learning new things is a good way to meet new people and boost our self confidence, which in turn improves our mental health and wellbeing. 

Give: Research has found a link between doing good things and an increase in wellbeing.
