Get Outside: De-stress Outdoors Even While Social Distancing, But Be Responsible



During these challenging and stressful times, it’s even more important than ever to take a moment to get out into the family yard – it’s your safe space. The TurfMutt Foundation reminds families that nature starts right outside your back door. Let the proven benefits of green space give us a break from being cooped up inside and relieve the stresses of these times. Listen to the birds. Watch the trees. Curl your toes in the grass. Work outside planting, or even mow the lawn.

The TurfMutt Foundation encourages you to get outside and de-stress outdoors even while social distancing but be responsible.
