This Research Summary Report outlines the opportunities and benefits associated with physical activity in woodlands.

In 2016 Forestry Commission Scotland (now Scottish Forestry), The Kennel Club and Paths for All commissioned some research in communities near urban woodlands in Glasgow. The work focused on providing low cost, sustainable and accessible health benefits for both people and dogs. The findings will be of interest to policy makers and service providers in public health, local authorities, land managers and vets.
