About
Welcome to Environmental Health & Public Lands. The first two courses in this series provided an orientation to the major concepts pertaining to human health and natural environments. We have developed different definitions and meanings for the terms nature, natural environment, and health. We have also reflected on the different elements that are or are not part of a natural environment. This course will identify environmental health as a contributing factor in the relationship between human health and natural environments.
