GPs urged to prescribe Wales forest walk remedy
Monday 13 December 2010
People with health problems could be prescribed a woodland walk by their GP under proposals by the Forestry Commission.
Doctors are being urged by the commission to use its "natural health service" as a remedy for a range of conditions from obesity to stress.
Forestry chiefs claimed a woodland walk was a better form of exercise than sending people to the gym.
Health professionals are meeting to discuss the plan near Aberystwyth.
