Helen Mark discovers why adults aged 50-105 are feeling Wild at Heart in Sheffield.
With rising issues of loneliness and isolation, Project Co-Ordinator Jan Flamank recognised a need to support older adults in her community. As someone who is passionate about the great outdoors - and knowledgeable about the health benefits that nature can offer - Jan set about creating the 'Wild at Heart Project'. The oldest Wild at Heart participant so far has been 101, with the average in their mid 80s. Many of the participants remember a time when people spent more of their lives outdoors so for them 'getting back to nature' is really about reconnecting with their past and their youth.
