Nature is everywhere. It’s in our communities, in our neighborhood parks and in our backyards. There are many benefits to connecting with the natural world, including physical, mental, emotional, and academic. From boosting one’s immune system and improving physical health to reducing anxiety and improving one’s outlook on life, spending just a few minutes outside each day can have profound impacts on our well-being.
