A new study published in Scientific Reports reveals two hours a week in nature is the threshold we need to reach before feeling the benefits to our health and wellbeing.
The results were the same regardless of whether participants spent their nature time in small chunks or saved up their time outdoors for a weekend, and the effects were similar for all participant incomes, abilities, ages and genders.
Nature as defined by the study included beaches, city parks or farmland and the study used survey data from more than 19 thousand participants in the UK.
