Nature stimulates our senses.
A variety of sounds, aromas, colours, textures, and peace can all be found in natural settings. Being in nature boosts our senses and makes us more mindful.
Nature teaches us about the world.
There are endless amounts of information that we can gather from spending time outside, whether it’s learning about animal behavior, plant growth, weather patterns, or other scientific concepts.
Nature enhances memory & creativity.
Nature is good for our minds. From improving our focus to enhancing our memory and creativity. Studies suggest that nature can help improve our memory more than indoor activities since natural environments are less distracting and provide more opportunities for cognitive stimulation.
