Forest ecosystem services for health therapy (forest for healing) play an essential role in humans' physical and psychological health in the forest ecosystem. In various countries, the utilization of forest ecosystem services for health focuses on activities, such as shinrin-yoku. However, techniques for identifying forest ecosystem sites suitable for forest therapy have not been widely used. The initial stage in planning forest activities for health therapy (healing forest) is to identify which sites in the forest ecosystem are suitable for health therapy. This study aims to identify and plan the site of the forest ecosystem for health therapy. The research location is in Cisamaya Pasundan Village, Mount Ciremai National Park, Kuningan Regency. The research methods used in this study are: (a) application of drone technology in spatial mapping; and (b) measurement of ecosystem parameters. The results showed that the environmental parameters at the research location were suitable to be developed as a Healing Forest location. The slope of the land is dominated by gently sloping land, and the density of the vegetation canopy, which is dominated by pine stands (Pinus merkusii), has a medium to dense density. The environmental parameter data obtained in the morning and during the day at air temperatures of 25.8°C and 27.8°C, relative humidity of 78.72% and 78.74%, the light intensity of 5,631 Lux and 7,147 Lux, wind speed of 0,41 m/s dan 0,49 m/s, the noise level of 51.76 dB and 49.36 dB, respectively. Based on the environmental parameter values, namely the slope of the land, the density of the vegetation canopy, temperature, humidity, and sound level, Cisamaya Pasundan Village is suitable as a Healing Forest site with activities carried out in the morning.
