Q5. Healing Forests in Japan and Korea are testament to the healing power of Trees. Do you concur? Will this practice make its way to our public lands? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 #ParkChat I think municipalities are starting to recognize how important wild green spaces are and plan for more of them.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 I think it's an interesting concept and true for me. Perhaps people have to discover this for themselves but who knows? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5) I don't know if they will officially make there way here, but I think more and more people are seeking forests for healing purposes here in the States. I find great peace and am able to recharge in nature and I can only imagine others feel the same way. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A5 I can personally attest to feeling better after a walk in the trees. Or even just going and sitting by a tree. So YES! I would love to see this mindset become popular in North America!

A5 More than 20 years ago, I was in a break-up and feeling sad. I went on month-long road trip and on first stop, at Great Basin National Park, I hugged the bristlecone pines. #parkchat

A5 As a Romantic, with quite a bit of Transcendentalist in there, yeah, there’s a healing power in all of nature, not just the trees. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5) I would have to agree that the trees did have a calming effect while I was in South Korea. #ParkChat

A5. I think some people are already using public lands for forest bathing and like practices. I know being in the forest is necessary to my well-being (right, @coasthikergirl?). #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5: Simply having untouched places for relaxation and soul therapy improve quality of life. Unsure of their encouraged development in the States due to modernization #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 The healing power of forests and nature in general is something I have certainly experienced, at least in terms of stress and mental health. There's nothing better to rejuvenate the soul than a walk in the woods. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5: Idk, I can only speak for what works for me. I'm struggling a bit at the moment and, darn it, getting outside to clear my head, to meditate, if you will, makes a big difference. Just my 2c. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. Perhaps. There are Parks with RX programs. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. Absolutely! It's revitalizing walking through an old growth forest. It's almost like we are interdependent or something. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. I'm not sure of the exact definition of a healing forest, but I think any forest can heal us. I can't imagine the life of someone who thinks he does not need the outdoors. #parkchat
