It's Mental Health Awareness Week (10th to 16th May) and the theme this year is nature.
Episode Five in our Nature & My Mental Health series features Country Living executive digital editor Emma-Louise Pritchard.
Emma-Louise introduces us to her local badger sett via #Badgercam. To feel productive, purposeful and learn about her local habitats, Emma-Louise has been heading into the woodland with a wildlife camera. For someone who regularly experiences anxiety, Emma-Louise has found solace in education.

When using a wildlife camera, it's essential to follow guidelines and make sure no animals are disturbed. Read our guide on wildlife cameras here.
