A recent project found that those who feel a connection to nature are stronger and healthier overall.
In an effort to get more people outside, The Wildlife Trusts and the NHS have started the 30 Days Wild initiative.
Volunteers are being asked to "take a random act of wildness" as part of the month-long project in June.
It was an opportunity to re-connect with nature and promote wellbeing, according to Norfolk Wildlife Trust (NWT).
The NHS and the trusts claim that people who spend daily time in nature are generally happier and healthier, experience less social isolation, and loneliness.
"We're asking people to take a random act of wildness each day in the month of June," said Bob Morgan, an officer with the NWT Reserves.
It could be something big or small, like taking the family to a nature reserve. It could also be something small, like marveling at the stars, watching a cloud pass by, or learning the sounds of birds.
We who work with nature are aware of its therapeutic benefits.
According to Mr. Morgan's statement, studies have shown that "reconnecting with nature, particularly for children, builds self-esteem, teaches them empathy, and of course paddling in streams and climbing trees, it teaches children to take reasonable risks and it helps with their well-being. ".
He continued, "Nature is so generous.".
To escape the stresses of daily life, Lucy, a resident of Cambridge, frequently takes her family to Hickling Broad in Norfolk.
It's a great grounder because life is so hectic and demanding, she said.
"I've always been taught to value what nature can do for all of us.
"We've always taken long walks as a family, picking up bird names and calls, and I like to teach my kids about that.
"Actually, getting outside in nature helps us ground and feel peaceful at this time when life is especially busy with lots of computers, demanding academics, and achieving. ".
"When you get tired of doing things online, you can just do nature, like identifying birds," her seven-year-old son George said. ".

Darwin, his 15-year-old brother, has become obsessed with butterflies. "Butterflies have just piqued my interest; there are so many different colors and varieties, and they're quite obvious because they're present almost everywhere. ".
