For many of us, nature is a place to play, connect, and find peace—but its benefits go far beyond recreation. Spending time outdoors can positively impact physical, mental, and emotional health, reducing stress and lowering risks for chronic disease. Yet with more Americans living in urban areas and screen time on the rise, time in nature is declining. This presentation explores why nature matters for well-being, what science says about its health benefits, and practical ways to incorporate outdoor time into daily life.
