Why is it important?
Research looking at the benefits of green exercise and experiences of people living with dementia in care settings taking activity out in nature is very limited, this paper significantly contributes to this growing body of knowledge.
Perspectives
It is important that more people living with dementia have equal opportunity to access the outdoors regardless of what challenges their dementia brings.
