30-Day Wellness Challenge: Day 28 – Visit the beach

We know a little bit of nature every day really does make you feel happier and healthier. As part of Spring into Parks, this September you can join our 30-day Wellness Challenge designed to encourage us all to get out and enjoy nature.

Did you know that spending time at the beach is good for your health? Negative ions are naturally created in nature and are most prevalent around bodies of moving water. They can help improve overall well-being by increasing serotonin release, which alleviates depression and stress. Visit your favourite beach and embrace the negative ions! Contact us to volunteer here or visit the official Ocean’s day website here.
