FORESTS and BRAIN HEALTH.
A Presentation on the health benefits of forests with Susan A. Masino
Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology
The link between forests and brain health is a public policy imperative: we face increasing costs for disorders ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to addiction, and forests offer exercise, mindfulness and stress reduction. We are still discovering new species, and forests are a likely source of new antibiotics. They have already produced new drugs for seizures and pain, and US veterans suffering from PTSD can spend time in the forest and reduce medication use. For these and many other reasons, natural forests should be protected and accessible to citizens across the state.
6-7pm.
Free and Open to the Public.
