The science is also accumulating to back up what we feel, showing that spending time outdoors reduces the stress hormone cortisol, improves immunity, reduces inflammation, improves mood and more.
However, simply spending time outdoors is just the tip of a wealth of wellbeing outcomes possible by reconnecting with the natural world.
