Doctors write out the nature prescriptions for kids and teens whose health would be improved by exercise, fresh air, and a connection to the natural world. And the FWS designs special prescription programs that move at an easy pace and include lots of stops for exploration. Health experts and nature advocates seem to agree that you can tell families to get out an exercise until your blue in the face, but they may never try it. But write a prescription for nature and suddenly the whole idea is taken much more seriously.


That is sooo interesting. I would like to know whose health would be not improved by exercise fresh air and a connection to nature. I think that is why I live up here.

The interesting part is the RX needed for action. If only more docs thought this way!
