Prof Christine Milligan and Dr Amanda Bingley talk about their paper Restorative Places and Scary Spaces: The impact of Woodland on the Mental Wellbeing of Young People. Published in Health and Place journal in 2007, the paper is more relevant than ever in addressing the ambivalence that young people may experience in accessing outdoor green space, and the mix of experiences and emotions that these spaces might elicit. The authors talk to Dr Nadia von Benzon about developing the focus of the project, undertaking creative research methods with young people in woodland, and the ongoing importance of their work.
