Thomas was featured in the Portland Oregonian’s May 27, 2009 article The best natural healer turns out to be nature discussing the field of ecopsychology and links between mental health and connection with nature and green spaces.
“Studies repeatedly have shown that contact with nature can lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, relieve stress, sharpen mental states and, among children with attention and conduct disorders, improve behavior and learning.
