>Access to nature reduces depression and obesity, finds European study
>Trees and green spaces are unrecognised healers offering benefits from increases in mental wellbeing to allergy reductions, says report

>People living close to trees and green spaces are less likely to be obese, inactive, or dependent on anti-depressants, according to a new report.
>Overall, nature is an under-recognised healer, the paper says, offering multiple health benefits from allergy reductions to increases in self-esteem and mental wellbeing.
>"The evidence is strong and growing that people and communities can only thrive when they have access to nature," said Robbie Blake, a nature campaigner for Friends of the Earth Europe, which commissioned the analysis.
