THE MOVEMENT

It’s intuitive. But it’s also science. Numerous studies have demonstrated that human health improves when we are exposed to nature.

Did you know?

  • Studies show that those who live in the most natural and green environments have about a 12% lower mortality rate.
  • 30 minutes of nature exposure per week reduces depression by up to 7 percent and can reduce high blood pressure by up to 9 percent.

Yet, Americans spend 95% of their lives indoors. With your help, we’re going to change that.

With the partnership of some of the most trusted American brands and leading healthcare experts and practitioners, we are building a movement that encourages people – like you, your friends, and your family – to go outside, reconnect with the great outdoors, and improve your overall well-being.
