This audio forms part of a series of audio interviews conducted in 2022 by Smartify as part of the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project. Listen and discover the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands through the eyes of the people who live, work and visit here.

In our 'In Focus' audio mini-series, take a closer look into a wide range of topics spanning the vast natural and cultural heritage of the Highlands and Islands. In this edition of 'In Focus', join Stephen Wiseman, co-founder of Nature 4 Health, as he talks about his early interest in the natural world, the mutual benefits of reconnecting with nature, respecting and understanding the needs of local nature and wildlife and some heart-warming, memorable moments out in the landscape.

Never has there been a more important time than for people to understand what nature really means to them...to feel the wind through our hair, the sun in our face, get wet occasionally outside - just enjoy everything that's there because that actually ignites so much in us and makes us feel much more real and connected with things.
