Moodle Instructional Design Volunteer at Nature Counter at CrowdDoing.world

People who live in cities and the communities that connect them can achieve goals through increasing their nature dose. Any country can embrace a national strategy of getting its people and institutions enough time in nature for the community to thrive. This has economic dividends, social capital dividends, mental health health dividends and physical health cost savings.

CrowdDoing has found small groups of trained professionals who know about specific nature benefits. There are people who have been trained in ""Attention Restoration Theory"", ""forest bathing"", ""eco-therapy"", ""nature deficit disorder reduction"", and other related terms. This has not be turned into a universal type of knowledge for any society to adopt in a modern context of majorities of the population living in cities and suburbs. There are examples of elements of biophelia as strategy, Singapore’s Airport, Milan’s Bosco Verticale. But the parks themselves are under-utilized globally by populations compared to their impact potential in cities.

CrowdDoing’s goal with Nature Counter is to create universal usable knowledge about what the benefits of nature dose are, how to access the benefits of nature dose and how to validate nature dose benefits for yourself. A world with more advanced processes to support nature dose could be more convivial, more resilient, have greater neuro-plasticity and would have faster learners and greater upward mobility among a plethora of benefits.

There is a user-centered design gap in nature in culture in that it is not discussed in terms of its benefits. Exercise may have an obvious connection to health but the fact that people sitting on a park bench are experiencing a scientifically established public health benefit is not universally understood. Scientists have been explaining this to other researchers but it hasn’t become universal knowledge any country in the world. No country currently recommends to all people in the country a level of nature dose to achieve basic human health goals the way nutritional recommendations are made by most countries. Nature dose empirically should be at parity with nutrition as an opportunity for established health interventions to achieve public health goals through interdisciplinary cooperation and education.

National nature strategy involves:

Nature dose education for the learner.

Nature dose education for a person in a direct support role (friend, family member, teacher etc.)

Nature dose education for a person designing systems for others that need nature dose alignment- ie employers, administrators, managers, etc.

Nature dose for people who are communicating with people who have all of these roles- educating people who create culture on nature dose, etc.

Nature dose validation (app) features

Nature Flex time for employers features

Nature capacity building for educators about the benefits of nature dose (ie all teachers who could host outside could receive that ) features

Nature capacity building for access gaps in medical knowledge for nature dose for nature prescriptions by doctors, pharmacists and nurses features

Increase the percentage of the country getting nature dose features to increase adoption and habit building

Calculate the benefits to the health care system of their getting nature dose

Nature dose education for storytellers, filmakers, tv show makers, ie how does the local culture establish nature dose benefits and real, empirical, and multi-dimensioal.

To reduce the risk of Covid, we recommend that everyone who visits here wears a mask in high traffic areas, when you are indoors and if you are not vaccinated, but as we are following state guidelines we do not require masks to be worn. We are also no longer requiring proof of vaccination to be shown for volunteers. We truly appreciate you being part of the effort to reduce the risks faced by our staff, visitors, volunteers and local community. As long as the Covid situation remains steady, we can continue with this current system, but some flexibility might be needed. If there are any cancellations or changes to the group size etc., I will send out an update to the volunteers. I appreciate your willingness to work with the uncertain nature of planning because we truly need the volunteers help here. We thrive with all of your help and aloha.
