It is the art of how trees can help you find health and happiness. Dr Qing Li, an expert in the field, has been looking at the science behind how trees can improve wellness through emitting essential oils into the environment. Yalda Hakim joined him for a walk with a difference. |

| #5 That's why I go camping. Just spending entire days out of a building & (mostly) away from electronics and artificial sounds feels great. My lifelong sleep timing disorder goes away completely when I sleep on the ground in a tent. I also walk an hour every day, sometimes more, whether I'm traveling or at home. In foul weather I walk at an indoor track. When I can tolerate the weather, I walk at an outdoors track near the house - even during snow and sleet storms. Proper clothing and footgear is essential for this - and not at all easy to buy locally. My boots and parka were both purchased far away from where I live. I have some very scenic trails (and a National Park) just a few miles from home - but seldom go there due to time constraints. Spending an hour driving to & from a trail head, every day, seldom matches my schedule. I didn't need an authority to teach me all this. |

| #4 That's one reason I live out in the woods. Also I'm a semi-hermit who does'nt like nosy or loud neighbors. |

| #3 No deer in nearly a decade. No tree hugs, yoga, or air kisses involved, but some of my best sleep has come in the woods.....safely tethered of course. |

| #2 No doubt there is more science behind it, but the BBC reporter was content to know that an eminent scientist said so. |
