World Forum on Forest Therapy 2024: Forests for Health, Happiness and Well-being
Over the past 70 years, Korea has devoted its efforts to greening its land, achieving remarkable success. Leading the way in using lush forests as resources for health and happiness, Korea stands at the forefront. As part of these efforts, Korea strives to set a global example in legislation, policies, and realization of 'forest welfare'. It is the aim of the 1st World Forum on Forest Therapy to share the diverse achievements and experiences of forest therapy realized by South Korea and to strive for its further advancement globally. We cordially invite researchers, scholars, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, and enthusiasts to join us in this forum. At this forum, we anticipate the sharing of recent research outcomes, trends, and issues related to forest therapy policies and practices. Alongside academic presentations, workshops in various fields introducing forest therapy programs and techniques will also be conducted. Additionally, there will be opportunities to explore forest therapy facilities and programs situated in Korea's beautiful natural forests.Date: 28-30 October 2024
