Dr. Liz O'Brien
My research experience and interests concerns the well-being benefits that people gain from engagement with trees, woodlands and green spaces at a variety of different levels of activity from 'hands on' engagement, such as volunteering, to using and being in woodlands through walking, cycling etc. This aspect of my work focuses particularly on health and restoration in terms of physical and mental health, and also on education and learning particularly through the Forest School approach to learning. I am interested in how the benefits people gain can potentially lead to wider impacts on individuals lives, and community development and capacity. In exploring people's relationships with nature I also have a specific interest in marginalised or excluded groups of people and the barriers that prevent these groups of society from benefiting and accessing woodlands and green spaces.
