How spending time in The Regent’s Park can improve your mental health and wellbeing.
With May Webber – Partnerships and Community Engagement Officer for Mission: Invertebrate project at the The Royal Parks
During the pandemic, central parks such as The Regents Park, have been an important place for many to seek solace, get close to wildlife, and enjoy the sounds of nature.
In this presentation, May will talk about the Mission: Invertebrate project and the mental health and wellbeing opportunities it provides – from getting involved in a range of activities to enhancing biodiversity for all to enjoy.
Did you know Regents Park’s array of habitats supports 21 species of butterfly, 230 species of moth and over 114 species of bird!
Learn more about these species during the talk.

Partnerships and Community Engagement Officer for Mission: Invertebrate project at The Royal Parks
May’s role as PACE Officer is to engage and excite residents and community groups that live locally to The Regent’s Park about the rich biodiversity within it. This is being done through outdoor learning workshops and habitat enhancement projects such as shrub planting, citizen science events and guided walks. The project has been on hold for the last year due to the pandemic, but will be starting again as soon as it is safe to do so.
