Amplifying Everyday Connection with NatureFix

By Matthew Zylstra @eyes4earth · On February 12, 2024

In my capacity as Scientific Advisor for NatureFix,  I recently gave a presentation on how nature connectedness underpins human and planetary health. This also marked the launch of NatureFix wellness trails in South Africa, as part of a collaboration with Nature’s Valley Trust.  NatureFix is a smart app-driven initiative supporting nature prescriptions, landscape design and training in order to amplify the wellbeing benefits of being in nature.

The presentation was delivered live in Nature’s Valley  – view the recording here.
