Time outdoors isn't just good for the soul...it's good for Idaho's economy.

Studies show just 20 minutes outside can lower stress hormone levels and boost mood.

For Idaho employers, that translates into real results: companies with access to outdoor recreation report higher employee retention, lower healthcare costs, and stronger team morale.

And it goes beyond personal wellness.

Idaho's outdoor recreation economy generates billions in consumer spending and supports tens of thousands of jobs statewide, much of it tied directly to public lands access.

Whether it's a lunchtime walk along the Greenbelt, a weekend hike in the foothills, or a team retreat near a national forest, outdoor access keeps Idahoans healthier, and keeps Idaho businesses thriving.
