The benefits of contact with nature for mental health and well-being

There is considerable evidence to support the links between mental health and well-being and contact with nature, especially through green spaces. Four reports and articles exploring these links and their enhancement are:

• Beyond Blue to Green: The benefits of contact with nature for mental health and well-being
• Population Health and Nature in the Urban Environment
• Health, Wellbeing, Gardens and Greenery – Population health and nature in Singapore
• The SRF Health Roof Garden at GP Plus Health Care Centre
