"Besides being exposed to nature’s idyllic beauty, you will experience the advantages of another mood-enhancing therapy—the activity of walking. Numerous studies have shown that by engaging in a tranquil stroll inside a natural-seeming setting, stress-afflicted patients may experience:
• Reduced negative emotions, such as:
– dread
– anger
– frustration
– despair
– hopelessness
• Improved ability to compartmentalize incompatible thoughts
• A diminution of hoarding disorder
• A diminution in phastasmophobia
• Increased ability to resist false intuitions
I would add to this list that after walking in nature I fart less. (Had to work in one fart joke.)
I like the whole Nature Preserve segment:

A plethora of benefits, even digestive ones.
Whoops: Time for a walk in our local Preserve.
