Spending time outside is more than just a fun and free way to enjoy the fresh air by yourself with friends, family, furry friends. Experiencing nature - whether exploring the intricacies of a dandelion in your backyard or staring up at a massive tree in an old-growth forest - is proven to be good for your health in a variety of ways. Read all about these health-boosting benefits in this article by Nina Campbell, MSN, BSN, RN, Stroke and Sepsis Coordinator with Mount Nittany Health.

Then beginning next week, our adventures will continue on Sundays only through September. Stay tuned for more details about where we'll be heading as autumn approaches!
