New Community Food Growing
Our health and wellbeing activities will be extended from February 2010.
Get Growing is a new Landlife project in Knowsley to increase opportunities for community food growing and healthy cooking, widen participation in active gardening, and increase awareness of nature and the environment as a positive resource for health. We are working with the National Wildflower
Centre as a key partner, and are grateful for funding from Knowsley's Health
and Wellbeing Partnership.

Outdoors is a healthy place
Landlife picked up the WalkWise Award in October for 'Great Outdoors', a project delivered in partnership with the National Wildflower Centre, aimed at encouraging local people to enjoy more exercise such as walking and cycling, in their parks, green spaces and around local neighbourhoods.

Announced at the Merseyside Transport Awards on 13th October during the Merseyside Transport Conference 2009, the awards recognise the businesses, organisations and individuals working towards a sustainable transport future for Merseyside. More

Our 4 year Great Outdoors project has almost completed its half way mark and has celebrated its impact and other wellbeing projects at a regional prgramme event run by Groundwork Northwest.

Great Outdoors was named as top regional project and the National Wildflower Centre is now a recognised health and wellbeing 'hub' for a range of activities that encourage people to get closer to nature for improved health.

Soil Inversion
Our main creative conservation project is Soil Inversion. Reseach this year shows significant biodiversity gain on 23 soil inversion sites. More
