Doctors in Montana are being encouraged to prescribe nature trails instead of pills to their patients, thanks to The Trails RX program. It has been scientifically proven that the outdoors can have many health benefits for the body. It can help fight against depression and obesity among other things.
As KPAX News writer Morgan McKay relates in her article: "The goal of the program is also to help people get familiar with the trial system and getting outdoors. “It's all about the natural benefits of being outside and being active. All the research supports it. If you're walking you feel better both in your mind and in your body,” said Communications Director at GVLT, EJ Porth."
