What is the certification criteria?
We consider any trail or site that allows for and supports interaction between people and the more-than-human world of Nature. Each site is carefully assessed utilizing criteria that evaluate the ecological health of the site, ease of access and safety. Additionally, we examine how infrastructure and signage can support both guided and self-guided Forest Therapy experiences.
Certified trails, spaces and places are specifically designated for their ability to provide interaction between participants and nature while promoting and fostering the ecological health and vitality of the site.
The evaluation and assessment encompasses six distinct categories: ecosystem health, safety, infrastructure, ease of access, design considerations, and management. Each category consists of multiple sub-scale elements that undergo thorough review.
