30 Meet the Author

Hi! My name is Britton Jennings. I wrote this paper in my second year at The Ohio State University while studying Environmental Policy and Decision Making. The core of this chapter’s content came from an experience that I had in high school outdoors that heavily impacted my mental health and the way that I viewed spirituality and nature. Before reading further, I want to warn you the reader that this chapter contains mention and elaboration of depression, so if that’s something that you aren’t in a space to handle you may want to continue past this chapter.
