Cancer and the restorative Power of Nature
Turning environmental disasters into community dreams…
Since 2007 Eden-Rose Coppice Trust has provided safe, easy to access, urban outdoor natural woodland environments for the support of people and their families living with cancer and other life limiting illness. This forms 90% of our charitable activities.
Our work is based on the belief that more than medication is required to affect positive and constructive support. People affected by life limiting illness often have unmet emotional and social support needs.
Researchers and scholarly papers say that venturing out into nature has been shown to not only improve health but helps to improve sleep, reduce stress, and boost happiness as well as increase attention, memory, and creativity.
These are extraordinarily stressful times, particularly for people with cancer and survivors of life limiting problems. But being outdoors provides a natural escape that can feel comforting and help fill our emotional tanks when we are running near empty.
Go on, spend some time ‘with nature’
