A Forest Therapy Guide is a trained professional who leads individuals or groups through immersive, sensory-based experiences in nature to promote well-being. They facilitate slow, mindful walks and suggest activities that encourage deep connection with the natural environment.

Guides create a safe and supportive space for participants, allowing them to engage with nature in a meaningful and restorative way.

Guides also regularly coordinate with parks staff, maintain equipment, and handle scheduling or participant communication. The role is highly interactive, often involving solo work during the walks but requiring collaboration during event planning and community outreach.
