Research
My research interests include interactions between the natural environment, human health and and wellbeing as well as socio-geographic dimensions of greenspace use and access. My cross-disciplinary PhD between the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Psychology, in partnerhsip with The Woodland Trust, examined the benefits of woodland activity programme provision on personal wellbeing and investigated barriers and enablers to woodland access and use.
