Richard Mabey, now in his 80th year, reads his groundbreaking book on the impact of nature on mental health.

When the nation鈥檚 foremost nature writer found himself in the grip of a severe depression, the natural world, a lifelong source of inspiration, became meaningless. This book charts the first year of his recovery and his adventure of re-engaging with nature.

Today, Mabey reflects on how nature helped with his own struggle with depression.
