University of Washington Nature & Health Presentation

Merrell is very excited to welcome University of Washington Nature and Health to share their findings on the connection of the great outdoors and our health.

Being outdoors, especially in nature rich spaces, can be beneficial for many aspects of our physical and mental health. This talk focuses on what we know about the relationship between nature contact and health - especially for children. And makes a case for why we all need access to nature in the places where we live, learn, and play.
