BOSSES at the National Park are throwing their weight behind efforts to promote nature as a way of helping boost people’s mental wellbeing after lockdown.
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, which ran until Sunday and which this year has a ‘nature’ theme, the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority is sharing stories from people who have benefited from feeling more connected to nature thanks to the area’s spectacular surroundings.
One person who has embraced that to the full is Danielle McGinlay, a member of the Taking The Plunge group which has discovered the benefits of cold water swimming in Loch Lomond as a way of improving mental wellbeing.
