Professor Miles Richardson, founder of the Nature Connectedness Research Group, told Newsweek: “There is the simple ‘back to nature’ theory, that nature fits our senses. Our senses evolved to make sense of the natural world … so modern stimuli are more demanding on our cognitive resources.
“We don’t question why a fish needs a river or a bird needs the sky, but people seem surprised when nature is good for us.”
Professor Richardson said that the key to finding nature even in an urban environment is to “keep it simple.”
He told Newsweek: “It’s about moments not minutes. It’s about noticing nature, tuning into nature. It can be the weed growing in between the crack in the pavement, it can be the cobweb on a handle, just tuning in and noticing the natural world, be it birdsong or the breeze.”
