Monica Macoubrie makes a return trip to our podcast this week to discuss a few of the many mental and physical benefits from being outdoors, in nature. Monica works with Nebraska Wildlife Education to allow their “diverse constituents to have an appreciation and understanding of our state’s natural resources and participate in the conservation of these resources”.
