What is a forest therapy guide?

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.

Flexibility and a love for the outdoors are essential, as work is often conducted in varying weather conditions and natural environments.
