Green Chimneys, a school for special education and mental health treatment, has been empowering youth to maximize their full potential through nature-based education within clinical, residential, and recreational services since 1947. Evidence suggests that exposure to nature, as exemplified by the Green Chimneys model, has broad emotional, behavioral, and cognitive benefits for human health and wellbeing. For example, the regulation of stress, distress, arousal, and conflict are associated with human-animal-environment interactions. At Green Chimneys, a transdisciplinary team of specialized therapists, clinicians, educators, and support staff work collaboratively to provide an individualized approach to each student’s learning and therapy that integrates animals, plants, and the natural environment.
