The Nature Pyramid

A Helpful Way to Think About Exposure

The Nature Pyramid suggests we may benefit from:

  • Daily small doses of nearby nature

  • Weekly deeper engagement

  • Occasional immersive time outdoors

It’s often compared to a nutrition pyramid.

Important honesty moment:

The Nature Pyramid is a conceptual framework.
It is not a validated clinical hierarchy.

It’s a visual tool — not a rulebook.
