Welcome to Nature Rx at the University of Michigan
Welcome to Nature Rx at the University of Michigan
After just 10 minutes in nature, stress decreases, and people report noticeable improvements in their focus, mood, and energy levels. We acknowledge that definitions of nature vary, and that many factors affect how individuals experience nature, such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, culture, and childhood experience.
We hope this site will help you discover the many ways nature can support your health and spirituality.

Land Acknowledgement
Land Acknowledgement
The University of Michigan is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people. In 1817, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadami Nations made the largest single land transfer to the University of Michigan. This was offered ceremonially as a gift through the Treaty at the Foot of the Rapids so that their children could be educated. Through these words of acknowledgment, their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to the University are renewed and reaffirmed.
