How Are Your NELs?

The National Park Foundation has this wonderful video about the need for people to get outdoors. It comes in a very serious form… a doctor discussion a patient’s NEL (Nature Engagement Levels). Hills For Everyone works to protect our natural lands not only for the wildlife and habitat value, but also for people. Nature is an important educator, de-stressor, and calmer. Make sure you have high NELs. Check out the video.
