“Health isn’t just the absence of illness or pain, it’s also physical, emotional, mental, intellectual, and spiritual fitness—in short, it’s about the joy of being alive. . . . nature-based exercise not only builds physical fitness but strengthens our senses, our intellectual capacity, and our mental health.”  Richard Louv in “The Nature Principle”

"When I have thought of the welfare of the earth, the problems of its health and preservation, the care of its life, I have had this place before me, the part representing the whole more vividly and accurately,  making clearer and more pressing demands, than any idea of the whole."   Wendell Berry, in "A Native Hill", "The Art of the Commonplace"
