James has both Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism
Spectrum Disorder. When he is exploring nature and taking pictures he feels calmer, allowing him to escape from all the daily hassles of life . He feels free to explore all
the areas around Weymouth, Portland and other wild places with his Dad.
Wild places bring peace and calm
when we need it the most.
Dom’s job as Recovery Project Leader at
Idle Valley combines his two passions, working with people and nature. As well as
having the satisfaction of watching this special wild place blossom under proper care, he can see the difference every day that he, and the project, makes to those
most in need of mental assistance, support and friendship.
Wild places bring communities together.
After undergoing brain surgery, Simone suffered from severe headaches and was worried that she would find volunteering with Durham Wildlife Trust too strenuous;
in fact, she has found that the fresh air soothes her aches, helping her to feel
happy and healthy again.
Wild places encourage our minds and bodies to recover from illness.
