Air Quality: Forests are important to the process of natural air filtration. 

Water Quality: Studies show that wetlands can remove up to 99% of excess nutrients, 89% of metals, and 100% of pesticides. 

Social and Community Ties: In urban areas, access to common green spaces are linked to neighborly activities, social and community ties, and more cooperative behavior across age groups.

Happiness: In a study using a phone app to record happiness levels in different environments, participants reported being happier in outdoor spaces, with the beach being the happiest locations. 

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder): A study done to evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-day fly-fishing trip in reducing measures related to PTSD found better sleep and few feelings of guilt and sadness. 

Anxiety: Studies suggest that viewing natural landscapes, even in photos, can decrease feelings of anxiety. Spending time in green space, even if it's in a field, and exercising outdoors can help lower anxiety.
