Nature Rx: Mapping Outdoor Spaces Across the University Campus to Promote Mental Health and Wellness

Nature Rx is a program that promotes spending time outdoors as a means of improving one's overall mental and physical health. In collaboration with the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the Counseling and Mental Health Center, and the Longhorn Wellness Center, my goal for this project was to collect data on various outdoor spaces across UT’s campus and build a prototype of a story map visualizing these spaces, as well as providing additional information on the benefits associated with each and their accessibility. The story map will eventually be featured on the Longhorn Wellness Center’s website.
