Green Exercise and Dementia

Our work is grounded in research. We are a leading organisation developing and growing the evidence base for green exercise and dementia.

In late February 2011 Neil Mapes launched his research which explored the benefits of green exercise with people living with dementia called: ‘Living with dementia and connecting with nature – looking back and stepping forwards.’

This multi faceted research project included a ‘walking interview’ film of Brian and June who are living with dementia.  These two short films give us a deeper insight into the importance and benefits of green exercise for Brian and June.
