Comment: | Active Woods is a national drive by the Forestry Commission to promote the vast range of health and fitness opportunities offered by Britain’s woodlands. Hundreds of events are being organised across England such as welly activity days, den-building competitions and dog walks, reflecting the campaign’s three themes of naturally active, naturally stimulating and naturally relaxing. Woods are great places for exercise and, as well as being good for the body, they are good for the soul. Research has shown time and time again that woods can help reduce stress levels and boost morale. They are great places to relax and raise the spirits, offering new sights, sounds, smells and experiences. |
