Forest Therapy
Trails, Spaces & Places
In an era where our lives are increasingly fast-paced and technology-driven, the practice of Relational Forest Therapy™️ offers a sanctuary for the mind, body, and spirit. Rooted in the simple act of immersing oneself in nature, Forest Therapy promotes wellness, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.
Certified Forest Therapy trails are carefully curated paths that invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world. These trails are scattered across the globe, each offering a unique blend of flora, fauna, and landscapes that inspire tranquility and mindfulness.

Are you ready to deepen your commitment to wellness, stewardship, and the healing power of nature? The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy’s Partnership Program invites parks, organizations, and land stewards to co-create certified Forest Therapy Trails, Spaces, and Places (TSPs) that foster profound connection between people and the land.
Each site holds its own story – shaped by land, community, history, and spirit. Through a thoughtful and collaborative process guided by ANFT consultants, we curate every partnership experience to honor the unique character of your place. From ecological features and cultural significance to accessibility and sensory richness, our approach ensures that your site’s natural gifts are uplifted and aligned with the highest standards for forest therapy.
