Project description

A growing body of evidence points to the positive benefits derived from spending even short periods of time in natural settings, including: reduced levels of stress, blood pressure, and pulse, and increased memory, ability to concentrate, and improved mood. Through supervised walks in natural settings, critical reflections, and prescribed readings, this course helps students develop closer relationships with�nature, so that they will add time in�nature�to their regularized routines. This can then lead them to an increased awareness of their roles in positively impacting both human and natural communities.� NOTE: to comply with current university safety restrictions, all walks will be held on the Cornell campus.�
