Can Urban Greening Improve Health in the U.S. and Canada?
A recent survey in Canada reported that 75% of respondents found it easier to stay indoors, even though there appear to be important chronic health benefits to spending time outdoors. Dr. Amber Pearson and Dr. Michael Widener will review the evidence on the health benefits of spending time outdoors and engaging with nature.
