Nature Prescription Program

The Nature Prescription Program encourages healthcare providers to prescribe outdoor activities and time in natural environments as a way to promote physical and mental well-being. Recognizing the health benefits of nature—such as reducing stress, improving mood, and increasing physical activity—providers can write "prescriptions" for patients to spend time outdoors. These prescriptions serve as proactive recommendations, integrating nature into health management strategies, and helping patients build healthier habits through engagement with natural settings.
