Description:
There is wide agreement that more walking and public engagement in outdoor activities can make a contribution to personal well-being, health and collective sustainability. But how do we go about promoting the benefits of walking and 'the great outdoors' in a culture where it is ever easier to be sedentary and disconnected from the natural environment? Our seminar speaker Jim Walker of the Outdoor Trust charity draws on a wealth of experience as a ranger, trail designer and urban well-being consultant in discussing these challenges for sustainable lifestyle change. Jim will look at methods for engaging citizens in outdoor activities and how these can contribute to wider behavioural change.

‘The  threat  of  being  sued  is  now  the  greatest  barrier  to  volunteering  in  the  sport  and  adventure  training  world.  Society  must  establish  the  principle  that  accidents  can  happen  without  it  being  someone’s  fault,  and  re-­‐establish  the  principle  of  personal  responsibility.’  

Julian  Brazier  MP  Member  of  the  All  Party  Parliamentary  Scouts  and  Guides  Group
