🌿 “As a family, we like to cycle around Portsmouth because what we see is always changing. We just enjoy the scenery much better than whizzing past in a car.”

If, like Air Quality Hero, Will, you're able to get around without a car, you can discover the unexpected benefits of walking, wheeling and cycling. Travelling at a slower pace could give you more time to soak up the sights, like the city's brilliant street art or stunning coastline, while experiencing nature springing into life in parks and open spaces.

Every small change counts. By swapping even one weekly car journey for walking, wheeling, cycling or using the bus, you can feel better, save money and help create cleaner air for the next generation.

🌿 Help others enjoy the wellbeing benefits of nature 🌿

Do you love being outdoors and supporting others’ wellbeing? We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to help lead guided nature walks across Portsmouth.

You don’t need to be an expert - just a passion for nature and people. You’ll receive full training and ongoing support, and it’s a great way to make a difference, meet new people and share your love of the outdoors.

🚶‍♀️ Nature walks take place on Thursdays, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, at a range of beautiful locations across the city.

If you can spare a few hours a week or month and would like to get involved, please contact Lorna on 023 9284 1762 or email [email protected].
