Nature-Based Interventions in Health & Wellness

Nature-based interventions refer to approaches that incorporate interactions with nature (such as outdoor activities, exposure to natural environments, gardening, etc.) to promote improved physical, mental, and social health and well-being (Shanahan et. al., 2019).

In this section, we’ll learn more about two specific case studies working to improve outcomes in physical and mental health through working with nature.
