Note: Environment type and region not included. Higher scores indicate greater: positive affect (range 10–50); negative affect (range 10–50); happiness (range 0–10), perceived naturalness (range 1–7); perceived birds (range 0–4 to 30+); perceived butterflies (range 0–4 to 20+) ; perceived plants and trees (range 0–9 to 300+); duration of WfH walks (range 0.25 to 6 h); perceived walk intensity (range 0–10), and perceived restorativeness (range 0–96).
