For Biodiversity Week 2025 Forest Friends would like you to experience the restorative value time spent Forest Bathing.
We have produced an original recorded audio to be used for self guided forest bathing relaxation in a native woodland area of your choice. Choose a location with continuous tree canopy around Ireland and experience forest bathing with friends and family during Biodiversity Week.
We are asking participants to report back in a survey and on social media your experience and any improvements in wellbeing after some time Green Bathing. In Japan this is known as Shinrin-yoku.
The feedback will be used in an article and to influence policy on benefits to health of local access to biodiversity rich continuous cover native forests.
Look back here for a link to post biodiversity week survey and follow on article.
