The Manada Conservancy will host a Nature Therapy: The Health Benefits Of Spending Time In Nature program with Dr. Matt Silvis on February 8 at the South Hanover Township Building, 161 Patriot Way in Hershey, Dauphin County starting at 7:00 p.m.
Many of us enjoy spending time in nature. But did you know that time spent in nature can lower your blood pressure, boost your immunity, and improve your sense of wellbeing?
Nature Therapy, in particular Forest Bathing, has become a hot topic nationally but has been practiced in Japan for decades.
Come and enjoy a talk exploring the health benefits of spending time in nature and how this directly connects to the vision of Manada Conservancy
Dr. Silvis is a Professor in the Departments of Family & Community Medicine and Orthopedics & Rehabilitation and is Program Director of the Penn State Hershey Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship.
He is also team physician for the Hershey Bears Hockey Club, Lebanon Valley College, and Hershey High School. An avid outdoorsman, Dr. Silvis enjoys hiking, mountain biking, running, gardening, and photography
This program is free and open to the public. Please register by contacting the Manada Conservancy office at 717-566-4122 or send email to: office@manada.org.
