Nature Photography Competition

For Mental Health Awareness Week (10-16 of May 2021), the Department of Pharmacology Equality, Diversity and Wellbeing Committee is running a Nature Photography Competition.

We want to inspire you to connect with nature (#ConnectWithNature) and gain a positive impact on your mental health.

Watch the video below to see Hamish Symington a postgraduate student in the Department of Plant Sciences tell us a little bit about the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens and the competition.

 

 

To find some inspiration for your artistic endeavours you could visit the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens.
