  • About the event:

    Join us to explore how spending time near SUGi Pocket Forests supports physical and mental well-being.

    If you have walked through green spaces, you will have likely noticed the distinctive scents of the plants around you, resulting in fresh, citrusy smells in some areas, and perhaps pine aromas in others.

    Research shows that exposure to these familiar plant-derived scents can induce beneficial physiological and psychological changes including reduced levels of stress and anxiety and enhanced immunity.

    Led by SUGi and Oxford’s Long Term Ecology Laboratory (OXLEL), we will study the contribution of SUGi Pocket Forests, particularly their scents, in promoting positive health outcomes in London.
