Nature RX
Nature Rx is a program that promotes spending time outdoors as a means of improving your overall mental and physical health. Here at the University of Texas at Austin, we’d like to show off some of the best outdoor spaces on our own campus, where you can partake in activities like mindfulness and meditation, social, and physical activity. This program was created in partnership with the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
