The nation’s forests made more welcoming, inclusive and accessible for thousands as £4m funding announced

Thousands more people will be able to benefit from time in nature, supporting physical and mental wellbeing and helping to reduce pressure on public services, following a new £4 million government investment toimprove access to the nation’s forests.

Forestry England says the funding will help more people enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits of spending time outdoors, particularly those who currently face the greatest barriers to accessing green space. This includes people with disabilities, older visitors, families with additional access needs, and those who may not frequently visit the countryside due to perceived or physical barriers.
