Health and Wellbeing 

The Great Fen provides a fun yet peaceful environment with outdoor activities to improve health and wellbeing both physically and mentally. Scientific studies suggest taking time to connect with nature has a positive impact with a persons health and wellbeing. This can include taking time to relax while exploring a nature reserve, bird watching, participating in events and clubs, going for a walk or meeting friendly, like-minded people who donate their spare time volunteering at the Fen.
