2025 was an extraordinary year for Campus Nature Rx. Our network grew significantly, welcoming 28 new members institutions from the U.S., Canada, Scotland, and India who joined our efforts to engage young people with the restorative wonders of nature. We organized and held our first ever CNRx Members Colloquium for 53 active and affiliate members, and hosted another successful Symposium with over 300 registrants and 21 presenters. 

Additionally, we sent out six editions of the CNRx newsletter, filled with interviews, descriptions of effective programs, and contemplative Moments of Nature Zen. Our most ambitious new effort, the CNRx Academy Certificate Program, wrapped up its first year in August by certifying 18 participants from five U.S. based universities. 

Each of these efforts - from enrolling new members to coordinating informative events - is part of our core mission. We recognize the high levels of stress young people experience today, and our many resources provide campuses with actionable ways to inspire students to step away from screens, spend time outdoors, and experience the restorative power of nature.
