Recreation in old-growth forest provides good health benefits

We humans thrive on recreation in varied and sparse old-growth forest.

Research shows that forests need to grow old, with sparse and varied structures, if we are to enjoy them and recover from the stresses of our daily lives when we are in them.
old-growth forest is breathtakingly beautiful, leaving a soothing impression on all the senses, and navigating it offers both physical and intellectual challenges.
