Quality of Nature
Quality of Nature is good for business.
Let's face it, owning a business is stressful. Improve your health and well-being by finding ways to access nature. Maybe you are unsure of how access to nature helps to reduce stress? Spend a day at the Imag History and Nature Center and find your inner child to remind you of the importance of a healthy eco-system. Or for a hands-on environmental gallery head to the 11,000-sq. ft. Interpretive Center's first certified green building. At the The Preserve you will see demonstrations on the history of Fort Myers and the importance of conservation. You can enjoy a hike, re-center, and get back to work invigorated and ready to focus on what matters.
