Mountain Biking Trail Therapy: Our Natural Health Service in practice, with Paul MacFarlane

In this special episode for Green Health Week, we chat to Paul MacFarlane, Mountain Bike Trail Therapy Leader with Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland, part of Scottish Cycling.

Trail Therapy is an innovative project, supported by NatureScot and partners, using mountain biking and contact with nature to help people suffering from mental ill-health. Paul explains the positive impact it’s having on participants’ mental and physical health, and suggests ways we can all benefit from making space for nature.
