Grounds for Health: Improving the estate for people & wildlife

Grounds for Health: Improving the estate for people & wildlife

Around 46% of the NHS Lothian estate is greenspace, this amounts to nearly 81 hectares (or rugby pitches) of gardens, grass and trees. If managed well these natural areas can capture carbon, clean the air of pollution and provide homes for wildlife. When they are well used, they can improve the lives of NHS patients, staff and communities in a multitude of ways that can be measured in better health and wellbeing.

This webinar is your chance to hear about some of the progress that has been made to improve the grounds and gardens and connecting people to nature.
