A nature prescription.

“If you’re feeling stressed, anxious or discouraged, finding the energy to get outdoors may be hard—but it could be one of the best things you could do to lift your mood, particularly during COVID-19. Ontario healthcare providers are now offering ‘Parks Prescriptions’ through a new program called PaRx that recommends spending time in nature as a way to fight depression and other ailments. The initiative, started by the BC Parks Foundation, cites research that states our stress-hormone levels drop significantly after just 15 minutes of sitting in a forest. Spending time in nature also boosts memory, creativity and work satisfaction, according to the program. Likewise, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health says nature can have a nurturing effect on your mental health. Even just spending 15 to 20 minutes per day outdoors in nature can be beneficial, research shows.” — A walk in the park? How spending time in nature can boost mental health
