Find Your Nature

Connect with nature wherever you are through 40 universal prompts and related actions you can take whether you have a few minutes or a whole weekend.

Walking through trees lowers our blood pressure and elevates our mood. Digging in garden soil puts us in touch with microbes that benefit our gut microbiome. Watching and listening to birds floods us with a feeling of well-being. Talking for two minutes with a neighbor gives us a powerful sense of happiness and belonging. So why, then, don’t we make time for these activities? Amid a worldwide loneliness epidemic in which many people suffer from nature-deficit disorder, naturalist and environmental educator Melissa Hart demonstrates how to connect with your space’s flora and fauna, your air, soil, and water…even your human neighbors. With accessible, simple assignments and hundreds of resources, this beautifully illustrated book will inspire you to go outside and find your nature.
