Looking after nature and getting exercise at the same time
The Bringing Back Nature program was aimed at making both older people and our natural areas healthier. It was based on the "green gym" idea from the UK and helped older people to get involved in conservation work in local parks and nature areas, and to get exercise to stay fit and active at the same time. This guide shares Environment Victoria's learnings from running Bringing Back Nature, and gives useful information for people considering running similar programs. It is available free, for not-for-profit use.
