Alexis Nikole Nelson Instagram – When #TheNatureConservancy asked me if I’d speak on how Nature affects our health (and vice versa!), I jumped at the opportunity. I’m pretty transparent about my struggles with mental health, and when I’m having a really rough depression or anxiety day, begrudgingly dragging myself outside always helps. We are intrinsically connected to the spaces we inhabit, the green spaces we neighbor, and I think that’s one of the most beautiful parts of being: our interconnectedness. Nature’s health is our health. Our health is Nature’s health. #WeAreNature @nature_org
