    The third installment of our Nurses Drawdown series focuses on natue-based solutions to public health problems. Our first speaker, Milagros Eisa, presents a dichotomy of mental, physical, and emotional health benefits to contact with nature, and supports it by citing studies conducted in the clinical setting. Our second speaker is Johannes Heiderich, of the organization "Plant for the Planet," who discusses how to get involved and put these benefits to action. Finally, both of our speakers field questions from the audience.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Describe Nurses Drawdown and how to get involved
    2. List three health benefits of nature
    3. Describe how to get involved planting trees and supporting nature-based solutions
