forest walks

Trails through trees

Forest walks are leisurely hikes or strolls through wooded areas, undertaken for exercise, relaxation, or connection with nature.

The phrase emphasizes the restorative quality of time spent among trees: The doctor recommended daily forest walks for stress relief.

Related to the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing.
