Australians Encouraged to Embrace Nature for Mental Health on National Tree Day
As National Tree Day approaches, Planet Ark urges Australians to step outside and connect with nature, emphasizing the mental health benefits in the face of climate-related stress.
Studies reveal a growing concern about climate change among young Australians, with significant impacts on their mental health.
Initiatives like National Tree Day aim to address this by promoting environmental responsibility and the psychological benefits of nature. Since being established in 1996, over five million volunteers have planted more than 27 million native trees.
Jennifer McMillan, Communications Manager of Planet Ark, highlights the dual benefits of nature care activities: improving mental health and fostering environmental responsibility. This year's National Tree Day, marks 25 years of community-driven environmental action.
