Audio guided activities take individuals on an immersive journey with nature, like no other.

Promoting feelings of awe, relaxation, and restoration; where meaningful moments with nature become life-changing experiences. The key is to absorb and find beauty, feel emotions, and forge greater connections to your natural spaces.

"As I was guided to look up into the canopy, I felt like I was looking into the brain of the forest. The experience gave me goosebumps – I can’t recommend enough!”

IMPROVE

Individual health and wellbeing

Enhancing individual engagement with your natural places inviting them to stay longer, explore further and share their experiences widely. Used for individual emotional regulation, to enable and support counselling outdoors, to manage stress and as an invitation for special time with family and friends - NatureFix serves as an essential healthcare overlay to any garden or green space.

“The Snowy Valleys Council area is known for its beauty and walks. The Nature Wellness Drive highlights the best of the region and gives purpose and knowledge to a walk. I am hearing firsthand what an impact the wellness drive is having on individuals. I would suggest that any local body aiming to address the mental health of their community should look seriously at something like this.”

Cr Ian Chaffey, Snowy Valleys Council Mayor

“With the help of the activities, I could feel my senses heighten and my mind clear. I was more aware of the sound of the trees as a gentle breeze went through, the trickle of the nearby creek and the sounds of the birds. I really felt present in the moment. This is definitely a great way to connect with nature and clear your mind when things start to get too noisy.”
