Textul de pe ultima copertă

At a time of so much discussion about the potential benefits for health and wellbeing of being in nature, this is an important book for anyone thinking of commissioning a nature and wellbeing programme, as well as practitioners who are designing or running such woodland projects for health and wellbeing.

Nicola Ramsden, Health and Wellbeing Officer, The Forest of Avon Trust


In this extremely well researched book Goodenough and Waite provide a much needed evidence base as well as descriptions of best practice and project evaluation that can allow commissioners and service users to understand woodland based activities and to have full confidence that they will be receiving an effective health and wellbeing service from woodland practitioners within the setting of the woods.
