Wellness in the Wild

Reconnect with nature and unlock the benefits of wellbeing

Nature is not just vital for wildlife – it’s essential for people and communities too. Across Dorset, our nature reserves provide space to pause, reset, and reconnect. In a fast-paced, high-pressure world, time spent in nature can improve mental health, boost productivity, and strengthen team connections. At Dorset Wildlife Trust, we offer a unique opportunity for organisations to invest in their people while supporting nature’s recovery.  

What is Wellness in the Wild?

Wellness in the Wild offers an exclusive corporate wellbeing experience on the iconic Brownsea Island, giving teams the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and each other, and return re-energised. Led by a qualified ecotherapy facilitator, this bespoke programme supports staff wellbeing while directly contributing to the protection of Dorset’s precious wildlife. 

Every experience is carefully designed to feel restorative, immersive, and impactful - far removed from traditional workplace wellbeing initiatives. Improve employee wellbeing and resilience. Strengthen team connection and morale. Learn practical tools to manage stress and enhance performance while enjoying memorable, meaningful experiences in nature that will resonate long after the day ends.
