ParkBathe stroll at Viewpark, Uddingston

ParkBathe is a citizen-science project providing mindful walks and nature connection to improve the health and wellbeing of people who might not normally engage in wellness activities. ParkBathe uses aspects of 'forest bathing', forest school and mindfulness and involves walking slowly in a local green space whilst noticing our surroundings (no water is involved!)
