2022 – Standard of Key Strategies to Reduce Hazards Mitigate Risk and Monitor Safety
- The aim of this report is to compile the techniques and strategies already used by professional Forest Bathing Guides and Forest Therapy Practitioners that try to reduce hazards, mitigate risks, assess and continue to monitor for safety. However, risks are always present, so the aim is to create a space that is ‘safe enough’ for people doing these activities.
- The definition of this standard is based on research carried out in 21 countries with the participation of 106 Forest Bathing and Forest Therapy professionals.
- FTHub selected relevant survey questions, analysed the survey results, and cross-checked outcomes in discussion with a team of FTHub trained professionals with backgrounds in psychology, psychotherapy, social work and ecopsychology. Additionally, a technical review has been conducted by three research professors with backgrounds in Psychology from University of Victoria (Canada), Derby University (UK) and Guadalajara University (Mexico).

2022 – Standard of Essential Characteristics of Healthy Green Spaces
- The objective of this report is to define a standard of essential characteristics found in green spaces where Forest Bathing guides and Forest Therapy practitioners usually carry out nature-based health and well-being activities.
- The definition of this standard derives from research carried out in 21 countries with the participation of 107 Forest Bathing and Forest Therapy professionals.
- This document will help organisations – public or private entities – in verifying if a green space has the essential characteristics for a Forest Bathing and/or Forest Therapy itinerary.
