Tuesday 8 october: FOREST FIELD TRIP, 07:30 to 19:00h (La Garrotxa)

The morning will be spent visiting therapeutic and back-to-nature forest pilot schemes, in the Garrotxa Volcanic Area Natural Park (Olot, Les Preses, i Sant Pau) and surroundings (Les Planes d’Hostoles, la Vall d’en Bas and la Vall de Bianya).

After lunch all together, there will be a group activity to share the morning’s experiences and thus obtain some initial applied findings.

Guided groups of about 20 people will visit several projects (one project per group) and experience a peaceful guided forest bathing session lasting 3-4 hours.

The congress will encourage the creation of synergies at least in the following fields:

• Scientific research on forests and health
• The integration of forest therapy into public health and welfare systems
• Forest bathing as a new ecotourism product
• Working on synergies at a Mediterranean level
