Recently you may have heard the terms 'ecotherapy,' 'nature-based therapy' or 'nature deficit disorder.' They have surfaced in response to research that shows humans have a basic need to be in touch with the world around them; that contact with nature and wildlife promotes both mental and physical well-being. Everyday we feel a pull to nature in one way or another, through a desire to gaze at the night sky, study a stately hawk or appreciate the change of a season. Upon seeing a turtle inch across a busy road, we take time from our ridiculously busy lives and stop to help him out before continuing on to our destination.
