WHAT WE DO

We study the impact of nature on people and the impact of people on nature. Much of our current health by design research focuses on how nature contact in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities impacts daily stress, health, and well-being. We also explore sustainability-related health behaviors to learn how to best protect health-promoting nature and environmental resources.
