Enjoying time in the great
outdoors, it’s in our nature

Good things happen when we feel connected to nature.

Did you know that simply spending time in green spaces, like your local park, on a football pitch, or amongst the plants on your balcony, has been proven to make us feel good? Research shows that it can reduce stress, boost our immune system and make us happier.

Green spaces across the city are also crucial in helping us tackle climate change and protect biodiversity. Gardens make up 1/5 of the green space in Manchester and can help keep our city cooler, improve our air quality and reduce the risk of flooding. We can all be part of making our city greener for the benefit of people and wildlife. It’s time to bring nature nearer!
