with green and natural spaces on a regular basis can bring multiple health benefits and reduce health inequalities. The difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the value of being able to visit green and natural environments. This presentation
will outline some of the research evidence that underlines the value of access to green space and nature, especially for mental wellbeing, and considers its lifelong importance as part of a salutogenic environment in which people can flourish into healthy
old age.</span></p>
