Can living near parks and other green-spaces result in better pregnancy health outcomes?

Can a child’s wellbeing and academic scores be linked to the amount of vegetation around their neighbourhood?

Do adults in greener areas experience better mental and physical health?

What types of greenery are preferred among retirees for getting outdoors and participating in physical and social recreation more often?

These questions and more will be examined through a $3.2 million research project developed through the Horticulture Innovation Australia (Hort Innovation) Green Cities fund, in partnership with the Population Wellbeing and Environment Research Lab (PowerLab), part of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Wollongong (UOW).

Called ‘Greener Cities Healthier Lives’ this project is one of a number of projects being undertaken by Horticulture Innovation Australia and is being delivered in line with the 202020 Vision.

Speciality Trees is proud to be involved with Hort Innovations as a member of the HIA Green Cities Project Steering Committee and as a partner to the 202020 Vision.
