Summary

Researchers in Edmonton, Canada, are testing a “Noticing Nature Intervention” to boost mood during harsh winters.

Volunteers will spend two weeks observing natural elements in urban environments, like frosty trees or animal tracks, and record their feelings.

The study will measure changes in stress, anxiety, and happiness, comparing results with a control group.

Lead researcher Dr. Holli-Anne Passmore highlights winter’s overlooked beauty, such as hoarfrost and starry skies, as a source of mental refreshment.

Experts suggest small changes, like choosing tree-lined routes, to reconnect with nature.
