Healthy communities

The Cambridgeshire to which we aspire will have healthy communities in healthy environments. We will pioneer initiatives to ensure that green space and access to nature help people to enjoy and appreciate the nature around them, leading to healthier and happier lives.

The Naturally Healthy Sub-Group held their first meeting on Tuesday 20 January at the offices of Natural England in Cambridge. This is a group of public health professionals, conservation organisations, local authorities, local charities, government organisations, physical activity professionals and university research professionals coming together to promote and develop a evidence base that clearly demonstrates the health and wellbeing benefits of being active in the natural environment.
