Lower employee stress, increase worker productivity, and reduce the number of sick days with a scientifically proven stress management technique: bringing nature into the workplace.Scientists at Texas A&M University have found that subjects who are shown a film depicting natural landscapes lowered their stress levels. Other studies have proven that images of landscapes combining open spaces, water, and trees are especially appealing to people.
This is no surprise to nationally published, nature and wildlife photographer Mike MacDonald, who originally used this soul-stirring multimedia nature program as a way to present and sell his images to the fine art market. Time after time, after seeing the program, people would report feeling refreshed, revived, and newly invigorated.
