The findings of the study were published in the journal SSM - Population Health'. The research, led by the University of York, showed that taking part in outdoor, nature-based activities led to improved mood, less anxiety, and positive emotions.
The study found that activities lasting for 20 to 90 minutes, sustained over the course of 8 to 12 weeks, have the most positive outcomes for improving mood and reducing anxiety.
Gardening and exercise were among the activities associated with mental health benefits. Engaging in conservation activities was also reported to make people feel better, as did 'forest bathing' (stopping in a forest to take in the atmosphere).
Nature-based interventions (NBIs) support people to engage with nature in a structured way to improve mental health.
