Imagine you could go to the gym, AND help your local environment at the same time? ......Well at the Chilterns Green Gym you can do just that!
Ran by non profit organisation The Conservation Volunteers, 'Chilterns Green Gym' project aims to bring people and communities together, improve physical health and mental wellbeing and protect the environment at the same time.
Green Gyms are fun and free outdoor sessions where you will be guided in practical activities such as planting trees, sowing meadows and establishing wildlife ponds.
Unlike other conservation projects, the emphasis is very much on health and fitness – volunteers warm up and cool down in preparation for a range of light to vigorous activities to suit all abilities.
Here is Buffy from the organisation to tell you how you can get involved in the scheme:
