Your mother wanted you to go outside to play, and she was right.
New research from the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health suggests "that spending time in nature -- defined broadly as being outside, being around trees and woods and greenery" -- helps promote overall well-being among teens and young adults and has strong public health implications.
Of the participants surveyed in the University of Michigan study, 52 percent said they "felt calm when out in nature,” and 88 percent wanted to spend more time in nature.
So grab a paddle board, a canoe, a fishing pole, or some hiking shoes and come visit Splinter Creek. Tours of the property can be arranged by emailing info@splintercreekms.com.
Do it for your health!
