For those who missed last week’s North East Place and Wellbeing Network the presentation slides are now available on our webpage and can be found here.

We had Danielle Quist enlightened us about Forest Bathing and Hugh Asher shared about Nature Therapy.

In addition Kay Cumming from The Seed Box based at Glen Tanar Estate shared about the Wellbeing project that ran throughout 2024 within the historic walled garden.

Green Health Week 2025

New for Scotland is Green Health Week this will be held across Scotland Saturday 3^rd- Sunday 11^th May 2025. The theme this year is ‘Nature is for Everyone’ Alba Rozalen Gonzalez from Public Health Scotland is looking for volunteers who are willing to showcase their work and insights with the newly formed ‘Green Health Learning Network’.

Green Health Learning Network

The Green Health Learning Network is scheduled via MS Teams on Tuesday 6^th May 1pm-2:15pm to register and get connected with the network please contact Alba. We felt it would be good to support this event in May instead of holding a North East Place and Wellbeing Network.
