The main objective of the Action is to increase the knowledge about the contribution that forests, trees and natural places make, and might make, to the health and well-being of people in Europe.
The Action aims specifically to set out the key health priorities identified within European countries and the possibility for forestry to contribute to meeting them, to engage health policy interests in the identification of information gaps in this field and to develop a network of researchers and research institutions in forestry, health, environment and the social sciences.
