Abstract: Exposure to natural environments is important for human health. We conducted the first study of allied health professionals’ thoughts about the features that should be incorporated into natural environments to benefit their patients/ clients and the broader community. Allied health professionals reported a variety of features, including specific natural features; being pleasing to the senses, privacy and having a relaxing feel; features that facilitate engagement in activities; as well as being accessible and safe. Universal and co-design is important for developing accessible and inclusive natural spaces to promote health.
