“Making nature time an essential part of your lifestyle is one of the best choices you can make for your health. Backed by hundreds of scientific studies over several decades, increasing your green time can have a wide range of positive effects, from a healthier heart and immune system and reduced stress in adults, to better eyesight and brain power in kids. Learn more about the specific health benefits of nature .”

Simply put Nature is a very important part of our lives now. In parts of Canada now one can get a prescription to spend 2 hours of time in Nature.

“Aim to spend at least 2 hours a week in nature, 20+ minutes at a time.

Research shows that people who spend at least 2 hours per week in nature report significantly better health and wellbeing. If you want to maximize the stress-busting effects of nature, one study showed that the most efficient drop in cortisol happens between the 20-to-30-minute mark. Hence our 20-minute rule.”

What counts as Nature Time?
Research shows that the health benefits of nature start to add up when you feel like you’ve had a meaningful nature experience, whether it’s sitting on a park bench or hiking up a mountain peak.”
If your time to get out to Nature is limited it is very possible to bring Nature to you. We can provide you with videos of Nature, some with people interacting with nature.
