Description
There is a growing demand for better evidence on the importance of forests for human health, as this may be a key element of future forestry strategies. Combining data from the Scottish Census, Public Health Scotland, and Scottish Forestry this research sought to address specific questions about the impact of urban woodlands in deprived areas on mental health and child development. Spatial data on woodland interventions and residential location allowed for a unique level of analysis to investigate outcomes.
