Healthy UC Davis, the Arboretum and Public Garden and Student Health and Counseling Services are thrilled to announce the launch of a Nature Prescription pilot program.

Research has shown nature's ability to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving cognitive faculties, sleep quality, social connections and enhancing overall mental and physical health. The Nature Prescription pilot program involves prescribing dedicated time in nature, also known as "Nature Rx," ensuring that students, faculty, and staff can all access the transformative benefits of this innovative initiative.
