In this special episode for Green Health Week, Fiona Leith and I chat to Paul MacFarlane, Mountain Bike Trail Therapy Leader with Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland, part of Scottish Cycling.
Trail Therapy is an innovative project, supported by NatureScot and partners, using mountain biking and contact with nature to help people suffering from mental ill-health. He explains the positive impact it’s having on participant’s mental and physical health, and suggests ways we can all benefit from making space for nature.
