Woodland Wellbeing

Learn About Benefits Of Woodland Wellbeing  

Two free seminar days aimed at health professionals, organisations and individuals with an interest in linking health care with the natural environment are being held in Aberystwyth and Treherbert on the 16th and 23rd March respectively.

The seminar days will explore theory and practice of the health benefits of green exercise, building on the knowledge and experience gained by both participants and leaders in the Actif Woods Wales project. There will be the opportunity to get out in the woods and have a go at some activities from green gym to woodworking.

The Actif Woods Wales project has so far focused on establishing locally run woodland health activities in and around Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, and Treherbert in Rhondda Cynon Taf, and has been funded by Forestry Commission Wales (FCW) and the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW).

The Aberystwyth day will be held on Friday 16th March from 10.00- 4.30, at the Morlan Centre and Penglais Woods. The Treherbert day will be held on Friday 23rd March from 09.30- 15.00, at the Penyrenglyn Project office and Cwm Saerbren woods.

Both events are free, with lunch and refreshments provided.
