Many people need to know the benefits before they are interested in going to a natural environment.
But what kind of forests do we have in the future? Are there any? What about simulated nature? When will the first forest park be built, for example, in a shopping center? What kind of simulation does it need? Picture, sound, smell, the feel of material and structure? Flexibility under your feet? The right sound of wind in the winter woods, a fallen tree lying against each other and the mist that floats in different shades of gray?
I have no answer to what is the most important element in forest. It consists of many things. Forest is never silent. It is actually quite noisy. It is a continuous wobble, slow-moving powerful movement. Sometimes it is scary. Usually it’s quite wonderful.
The experience of landscape and nature can be great for a person if he just recognizes it. On the other hand, seeing the landscape from the distance can also be as powerful as entering the forest. I feel like we’re losing the forest. Current life seems to be as lost. We should read the wind and worry. The winds nowadays are more restless.
