Simple pleasures
Research shows we aren't getting into the outdoors often enough. In fact more than half of Scots are accessing the outdoors less than once a week, so SNH is working hard to try and change this.Encouraging more people to get outdoors more often is a key national target for the Scottish Government and part of our role is to lead this effort. Through various initiatives and partnerships we want to make Scots more active and access the outdoors more often.
Our 'Simple pleasures, easily found' campaign is carefully targeted at geographical areas where current participation is lower than the national average.
Getting outdoors needn't be a big adventure with lots of planning or serious equipment. We want to inspire people to enjoy the outdoors right on your doorstep with simple, doable, achievable and desirable activities.
So rather than sitting in watching TV or playing computer games, why not get outdoors and reap the benefits, both physically and mentally, from life's simple pleasures. Whether it be a walk to your local park or greenspace, or participating in a local ranger led walk 
, there's plenty to do and see near you.
