SUNSET HILLS, Mo.—Challenged by the seasonal change blues? The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) might have the natural Rx.
As the seasons change, stress and other feelings can build up.

This experience will help participants discover how being in nature can reduce and improve stress level, blood pressure, and immune system along with many more health benefits. The event includes an easy walk, meandering through the woods at Gempp Conservation Area led by MDC volunteer naturalists. During the journey discussions will focus on ways you can use the woods, your yard, or even a window to help receive the benefits of nature during the winter months, or any time of the year.
The level, .9-mile path consists of wood chips, and the group will stop and sit periodically. Participants can bring a towel or pad to sit on or use the available benches. Wearing comfortable walking shoes and dressing for the weather is also recommended.
