This episode is a live recording of an event in Hope Week, from the Wildlife Trusts. Hope Week was a series of live events, and a chance to bring together young people to enjoy workshops, talks and entertainment. We took part in the first session of Hope Week, looking at the topic of Health and Wellbeing in Nature.
The session began with a fantastic live magic show from the Environmental Magician Megan Swann, using magic as a communications tool to try to help save the planet. After her show, Dom and I had a chance to speak with Megan and then open up a discussion with the attendees for our event.

Our second guest is Libby Smith, a member of Generation Sea - a youth steering group from The Wildlife Trusts made up of young people who are passionate about protecting and restoring the marine environment.

Dom and Rob talk about the link between these two topics, before being joined by some fantastic guests. Tony Li and Ruth Taylor from mental health charity Mind provide some vital insight into their own work with nature and mental health, and examples of how we can think about eco-anxiety with our mental health in mind.
