Healthy Parks Healthy People
Dr Ambra Burls
A THINK TANK involved with the
environment and nature conservation in
urban areas
Aims: to improve the design, management
and use of urban systems and
parkland
Actions that seek to harness processes and systems
to bring people and nature/wildlife closer together
working with the grain of nature to produce
healthier communities,
grow a sense of place and foster
pro-environmental behaviour change
(ecohealth, ecotherapy, eco-coaching
all forms of green social engineering)
Parkland, National Parks, NHS land and
community green spaces can all be spaces which
improve health and meet government targets on
wellbeing and sustainability
‘green health
literacy’
Health literacy:
the degree to which
individuals have the capacity
to obtain, process, and
understand basic health
information and services
needed to make appropriate
health decisions
(Ratzan and Parker, 2000)
‘green prescriptions’
prescribing a range of activities in outdoor
settings
with strong natural environment components
(e.g. urban greenspaces, parks, nature
reserves and countryside)
as a referral mechanism from health care
practitioners
RECIPROCITY: people improving their health
whilst tending nature
http://www.npwf.org.uk/
The UK National Parks and Wellbeing
Forum
a network of practitioners, managers, planners and
researchers working to:
improve the understanding of national parks’
systems and push their health enhancing
value up the social and political agenda
integrate the conservation role and
recreation/education programmes of parks
with green prescriptions schemes
encourage integrated thinking, raise
awareness, stimulate research, influence
policy
NATIONAL PARKS and WELLBEING
A whole programme of courses and
workshops
and a yearly conference
Next conference 21st-24th April 2015
Dr Ambra Burl - Healthy Parks, Healthy People - Presentation at The Sustainable Green Infrastructure Conference 2014
NHS Forest model:

wellbeing of communities
(also staff and patients)
through increasing access to
green space on or near NHS
or other care providers’ land
Coventry University Hospital

between sites and the local communities
around them

art, food crops, reflection or exercise and
to encourage biodiversity
?highlight innovative ideas to encourage
the use of green space for therapeutic
purposes

MENTAL
CAPITAL
Five ways to Wellbeing
how well an individual is able to contribute
effectively to society and experience
a high personal quality of life
OUTCOMES
People are more flexible and efficient at learning
their cognitive ability increases
and so does
their emotional intelligence, such as social skills
and resilience in the face of stress
Why ‘CAPITAL’ value?
The combined set of mental capital capabilities are
categorised as capital because they are
personal and public resources
which can be built on and there is
economic viability and wealth in mental capital,
therefore the concept will enhance
public health, psychological and social capital
National Parks/National Trust/NHS Forest sites
can be vehicles for people’s involvement in
contributing to
natural capital
Green prescriptions
WIN-WIN Public Health interventions
Seeing nature/ Planting trees
Access to Parks
Using green spaces (urban or rural)
Community gardens
improved ability to learn, better memory and
attention, higher levels of social connections,
decreased levels of crime
