Experiencing the outdoors has many health benefits for people young and old alike. From reducing stress to increasing physical activity, there are many reasons to spend time in nature. With children and adults spending more time than ever looking at screens, whether it’s a phone, TV, or computer monitor, we need to prioritize unplugging from our devices and getting outside. On November 9th the San Mateo County School Wellness Alliance will discuss the latest research on the connection between nature and health. We will then highlight opportunities to ensure students are able to experience outdoor education in San Mateo County schools. Please join us! For more information and to RSVP click here.
