Let's Get Social

With this sunny weather, it is a great time to enjoy the outdoors. Studies show that spending at minimum 20 minutes in a natural environment can help reduce cortisol levels. It also helps boost mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. All the more reason to care for the natural world around us. 🌿💚

Stop by the Nature Center at Pia Okwai this weekend! Check out our variety of events on our calendar and enjoy the sunshine. ☀️

Join Utah State University – Water Quality Extension here at the Nature Center for an interactive, hands-on training session to become a UWW volunteer! 🌟

Tracy Aviary has adopted a monitoring site on the Jordan River, and volunteers will help collect water quality data once a month. The data we collect helps inform policy and can also support future funding to improve our state’s water quality. 💧📋

Participants will start indoors for an overview of monitoring protocols before heading out to a local site for field practice. Come prepared for a short walk and Utah’s unpredictable spring weather—this event is rain or shine! Please register online via our events calendar.
Get ready to relax and unwind with your guide Ian! Our first session of Nature-based Mindfulness is happening next Sunday, March 29th from 9am to 10:30am. For more information, visit our website. 🌿
