I like the way Caitlyn pulled together so many studies and initiatives that are happening around the world that are focused on the beneficial impact of nature on our health. Right here in Maryland, Nature Worx designs and delivers experiential programs that help people connect with the healing properties of nature. Our partners include substance use treatment facilities, government agencies, corporate wellness programs and nature centers. It's exciting to see the positive impact we are having on people's lives!

What a wonderful article. As a nature center administrator and avid outdoorsman, I can identify. I have seen the benefits of engaging with nature here at Irvine and its positive impact on our visitors and participants from cradle to gray!

What an awesome article. I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and I'm always suggesting that my students and clients get out and experience nature to de-stress and get exercise. Your article validates this and give the scientific backing that some people need to act. We are a society that truly needs to get back to basics and your article confirms this. Thanks so much for such a beautiful article.
Caitlyn Johnstone has done a beautiful job of outlining both the scientific research and the plain old common sense that tell us that spending time in nature is good for our mental and physical health. Bravo Caitlyn! Yours is an important contribution to the growing body of literature on the many benefits of spending quiet time in nature!
