To understand why walks in nature are beneficial to #publicHealth we need to go back one step.
The #bigTrees are beneficial for many reasons, #airQuality, #biodiversity etc, but #restorativeEnvironments have visual detail aspect too.
The #restorative aspect extends to walking through old #European towns and cities, with #heritage, architectural detail, variation in building height, and… 1/3
