Phd & Green Health
Between 2017-2021 Tir Coed worked in partnership with Aberystwyth University to supervise a PhD project investigating the therapeutic potential of woodlands in enhancing health, well-being and social engagement within rural communities in Wales.
The PhD project was funded by KESS 2, an initiative funded by European Social Funds to connect small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with postgraduate university students across Wales to enable collaboration on research projects which will benefit Wales in areas such as health, the digital economy, low carbon technology, and advance engineering.
