If there’s one thing this year has taught us, it’s that getting outside in nature, is vital for health and wellbeing. And even in the depths of winter when it’s cold and wet outside, being around water and wetlands, in particular, can bring extraordinary benefits. Take in the fresh air and appreciate what the great outdoors have to offer, in a safe way.

Hannah Clifford from WWT said:

“As the temperature dips and the dark nights draw in, it’s tempting to go into hibernation mode but to do so is to miss one of the most enchanting periods for nature on our wetlands.

“Whether it’s photographing spectacular ice patterns on frozen waters or listening to the trickling of a meandering stream, spending time in nature can do wonders for your wellbeing.
