Mental health is more important now than ever, with people of all ages getting less social interaction due to COVID19. Community and connection are essential to mental well-being.

Research shows a significant number of health improvements resulting from body movement and connection with nature including improvement in physical and cognitive health, community activities, recreation, hobbies and life decisions.
