CrowdDoing Learning & Development Volunteers Needed/Instructional Design Volunteer Leaders Needed for Nature Counter by CrowdDoing.

The framework will synthesize and simplify existing literature on specific health and commerce benefits of specific "doses" of nature. The gap between the research and its applications will be filled in by the "citizen scientists" involved-a practice that has been used to excellent effect in fields such as astronomy, ornithology, and conservation science. The customizable nature of the App encourages individuals and institutions to experiment with and pilot nature-immersion interventions that are right-sized to their goals. They have the opportunity to test for themselves the degree to which increasing nature "doses" for their institution increases productivity and employee wellbeing. Our aim is to co-create nature immersion research by embedding the process of research localization into the piloting process so that each organization ends up with the toolkit of nature immersion capabilities most suited to their needs.

When organizations get evidence of increased performance, they are likely to make permanent nature-based interventions. For example, a hospital with two divisions could have surgeons in one division get "flex time" to be free to spend 50 minutes a day in a local park. (A GPS-enabled application would confirm that they, in fact do spend that amount of time in the park.) After a specified period of time, their medical mistake rate and burn-out rate could be compared with that of the surgeons in the control group. Each organization can choose to utilize research metrics and methods that have the greatest bearings on their needs. Research methods such as Networked Improvement Communities, Context Variation by Design, and Positive Deviance are examples of methodologies that have demonstrated that proof-of-concept experiments can be emulated and customized across a network. Our goal is to help individuals as well as organizations and institutions, by making it easy for them to acquire the health literacy to decide how much time in nature they need to achieve their goals.

Our objective is to eliminate this disconnect between the importance of nature and how nature is treated. Our team of researchers and experienced practitioners believe that this disconnect is so ingrained in societies that it can only change organically, from the bottom up. We believe that when more and more individuals and more and more managers in businesses are helped to experience the positive effects of nature, and then enabled to identify ways to efficiently preserve nature without sacrificing personal and professional gain, then nature will become a more important a factor in decision-making. As individuals and managers become adept at factoring in the importance of nature in their personal and strategic decisions, they will be more likely to embrace the preservation of nature as a goal-one which the global climate change crisis makes all the more important. Eco anxiety can reduce mental wellbeing but eco-immersion combined with collaboration on nature-based solutions that benefit the climate can both improve the mental health of individuals and the resilience of the cities in which they live.

Why join CrowdDoing's Nature Counter? Join us as a CrowdDoing Learning & Development Volunteer Needed/Instructional Design Volunteer Leaders Needed for Nature Counter by CrowdDoing and you can collaborate to help democratize ecotherapy.

Here is why you should consider volunteering with us on this:

Our Brains are Wired for Nature-- natural elements-including trees, grass, water, and even buildings-can improve health outcomes and reduce stress and burnout among employees and medical workers.

We are optimizing the Nature Counter framework to deliver maximum impact for public health by making it easy for individuals and organizations to incorporate nature-based activities into their work.

We are seeking dedicated volunteers to help us realize the ultimate goal of this project.

Who can you help?

The Nature Counter aims to improve the health and lives of countless individuals and medical workers across the country and all over the world.

Organizations all over the world use our Eco-Learning approach to integrate natural elements into their environment to create a healthy and productive work environment.

Volunteers are an integral part of our success. Volunteers collaborate with CrowdDoing on Nature Counter flexibly. You can either lend your expertise and be hands-on, or you can help us coordinate the efforts of other volunteers to make this project a success.

You and your skills and experience have the potential to transform the ecotherapy movement in an era where everybody, is prioritizing wellness, environmental stewardship, and employee wellbeing via getting enough ecological immersion for each person.

Why contribute to CrowdDoing's Nature Counter?

As a volunteer you will be working on the cutting edge of innovative approaches to nature-based interventions.

You will be contributing directly to CrowdDoing's mission of bringing nature back into people's lives.

You will be working with highly motivated, forward thinking professionals who are passionate about helping others.

You will have the opportunity to shape the future of this project. We are looking for volunteers to help us co-create this framework.

Digital volunteers visit webinars about ecotherapy, read books about ecotherapy, and read scholarly articles about case studies of ecotherapy from the people who are already practicing it. We are then aiming to make this field self-navigable for people who are new to ecotherapy. Are you interested in learning more of what exists online from research created by experienced ecologists and help us communicate these scientific findings to a broad audience? Do you want to help us democratize ecotherapy?
