‘How Forests Heal People’ – A simple idea to show how [nature](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/12/as-hundreds-of-golf-courses-close-nature-gets-a-chance-to-make-a-comeback-says-ensia/)
affects the brain. I mean yes folks: forests heal people. And it’s important to 
spread some healing in a world that urgently needs it.

I mean as I’ve written before about even golf courses closing means the potential
for recreation to meet with [wildlife](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/08/wildlife-works-launches-new-facebook-store-to-market-carbon-offsets-and-casual-apparel/)
habitat. It is pretty rare because not much large open space is available for that
kind of development in urban space. Those comments came from a landscape designer
Nick Yoder. He was the one who examined [sustainable reuse options for closed golf](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/03/evolve-golf-tee-for-a-sustainable-game/)
courses. All as a graduate student at the University of Maryland’s Department of
Plant Science and Landscape Architecture. Golf courses offer a unique and valuable
opportunity to protect green space from development and incorporate [nature](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/04/american-forests-preserving-our-green-legacy-organic-connections/)
into existing developed areas.

#### **Films for a Cause**

In addition, their award winning work covers issues ranging from environment to 
women’s rights. All from children’s education to population control and much more.

_So If you wish to use the power of films to address a social issue we can help 
you develop the communication idea and implementation strategy through low budget,
high quality films._

Finally, we hope you all like this film.
