The pressure of urban living environment caused by noise, population density, work load and other factors has adverse effects on health. Therefore, urban residents relieve the pressure and improve their subjective well-being through forest recreation. This study analyzes the research background of this problem, clarifies the significance of the research, and constructs the research path according to the idea that perceived stress affects the physical and mental health through forest recreation, and ultimately affects the subjective well-being of the recreational people.
