Campus Nature Rx Network is a coalition of colleges and universities working to improve student mental health.
By supporting inclusive nature engagement, research, and outreach, we help campuses strengthen resilience, foster well-being, cultivate environmental stewardship, and grow more sustainable campuses.
At CNRx, we believe in the power of community and accessible shared knowledge.
Access free research, guides, videos demonstrating the proven benefits of Nature Rx initiatives, and more. Our resources are open to everyone, everywhere.
Since 2020, the Campus Nature Rx Symposium has been the premier forum for inspiring and informing our network, while connecting the broader community. This year's Symposium will convene educators, researchers, students, and partners to share news about their programs and stories from within. Discussions and presentations will explore innovative approaches to teaching, research, and outreach that nurture student well-being and academic success through nature engagement, while addressing the unique challenges facing campus communities.

As Campus Nature Rx continues to grow, 2024 has been a milestone year. With our mission to integrate nature-based programming into higher education, our members and staff have expanded our reach, strengthened partnerships, and deepened our impact on student well-being.
Our 2024 Annual Report outlines the achievements of the past year, including the expansion of our CNRx Academy Certificate Program, the success of our 5th Annual CNRx Symposium, and the addition of 15 new member institutions, representing over 231,000 students. Our network now includes 97 institutions, spanning diverse geographic, institutional, and demographic landscapes.
Through research-driven programming, collaborative initiatives, and student-centered interventions, Campus Nature Rx remains committed to fostering health, academic success, and sustainability through nature. This report reflects the collective efforts of our staff, member institutions, and dedicated community in advancing this movement. Check out what we accomplished together in 2024!
