Summary

This study tested whether a 5-week nature-based therapy program—featuring guided walks and mindfulness in a coastal urban park—could improve stress resilience and quality of life in 100 healthy adults. Participants attended three 60-minute sessions per week and were followed for another 5 weeks. The researchers measured changes in stress biomarkers, emotional well-being, and health-related quality of life to see if time in nature can boost overall health.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could support adding nature-based therapy to public health programs for stress reduction and well-being.
What could go wrong
