Dr Everly Jazi, along with coauthors Matilda van den Bosch, Margarita Triguero-Mas, Michael Meitner, Annmarie Thomson, Jade Chen, and Keunhyun Park, conducted focus groups and individual interviews with Metro Vancouverites experiencing socioeconomic and/or racial marginalisation to hear directly about their relationships with natural spaces, and impacts on wellbeing and recovery. Participants described both potentially compensatory experiences, in which nature supported wellbeing despite broader inequalities, and experiences in which existing disparities and injustices were reproduced or amplified through differences in access, inclusion, and safety. Grounded in participants’ lived experiences, these findings highlight how individual factors and structural conditions work in tandem to shape the relationship between nature and wellbeing.
