Key Findings From our research, we have discerned three broad health outcomes: Improvement of psychological well-being (by enhancing mood and self-esteem, whilst reducing feelings of anger, confusion, depression and tension); Generation of physical health benefits (by reducing blood pressure and burning calories); Facilitation of social networking and connectivity (by enhancing social capital). Key quantitative findings emerging from this large amount of data are as follows: 3 out of 4 people feel less depressed, tense and angry after participating in a form of green exercise; 2 out of 3 people experience an overall improvement in their level of mood; Almost two thirds of people report improved levels of self-esteem; An improvement in mean self-esteem and mood levels is always reported after participation in different green exercise activities.
