What is Redwood Rx?

Mountain Parks Foundation was inspired by a growing body of research showing the strong link between contact with nature and enhanced human wellness. Spending time in nature improves our health and well-being and can lower blood pressure and stress levels, enhance immune system function, reduce anxiety, increase positive outlook, and improve mood. For these reasons, Mountain Parks Foundation is partnering with California State Parks to provide a nature-based wellness program called Redwood Rx. Redwood Rx offers a variety of new opportunities to connect with nature and experience the health and wellness benefits of our Redwoods State Parks.
