Introduction
Welcome to Volume Three of the Journal of Ecopsychology (JoE).
Research can help to inform the theory and practice of ecopsychology. We are pleased that in Volume two, we published four research papers covering a range of themes ie the role of environmental values and nature connectedness (Lee, Setti, & Cassarino, 2022), the role of nature in the recovery from eating disorders (Flaata, & Haukeland, 2022), the practice of coaching while walking in a green space (Savarese, & Dini, 2022) and a personal experience of group forest therapy (Alderman, 2022). We hope readers found them interesting and enlightening.
