Nature Rx Day
Open to the public.
Nature Rx Day on November 4th, 2026 is a day of festivities, nature experiences, and connection to promote well-being, highlight how engagement with nature can reduce stress, and strengthen community connections.
Since Nature Rx Day falls on National Stress Awareness Day, we will explore nature-related practices that:
- reduce stress
- support mental, physical, and spiritual well-being
- strengthen connections
- highlight the growing social prescribing movement
This campus-wide event will introduce programs, resources, and activities that help participants take nature breaks suited to their preferences, comfort levels, and abilities. U-M units will offer activities highlighting the connections among nature, health, sustainability, and well-being. Participants will be encouraged to engage with nature in new ways—for their health, research, studies, or enjoyment.
All students, staff, faculty, and members of the public are invited to participate in sessions that align with their schedules. Registration is strongly encouraged since it helps with event planning and allows us to send you helpful reminders and activity updates. This event is free and open to the public.
