Now that the weather is starting to warm up, it is an ideal time to think about getting more active and increase your brain power. Both activities has shown to reduce the likelihood of dementia in later life.
With the Tree Talk application, you can generate an educational walk using your postcode. The journey will guide you to local trees, and the application will provide interesting information. You could also choose a particular tree as a starting point and the walk could be generated around that.
For anyone who's interested, and who wants to take their learning further, typing in 'name of a tree + edible + UK' will indicate whether that particular tree can be foraged and at what time of year.Â
If you want to boost the positive effects of a tree walk, going with someone else will be even more beneficial, since social contact has been shown to reduce the risk of dementia - and it would be more fun to go with a friend and learn together for free!"
