\n Nearly six in 10 Americans have a new appreciation of nature during quarantine, according to new research.<\/p>\n

The study asked 2,000 Americans about how they\u2019re keeping their moods up in light of social<\/a> distancing measures.<\/p>\n

Fifty-eight percent of respondents shared they didn\u2019t appreciate nature as much as they should have before the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation and their Get on Board campaign, the survey found that as their days indoors drag along, 57 percent said it\u2019s all taken a toll on their mental health and happiness.<\/p>\n

Three-quarters of respondents are starting to feel a boost in their moods, however, thanks to spending more time outdoors \u2013 with 66 percent sharing they\u2019re doing more outdoor activities close to home.<\/p>\n

Just over half of those surveyed have also gone fishing during their time in quarantine and 27 percent have specifically done so to boost their mental health.<\/p>\n

In fact, 63 percent of those surveyed overall said the mental health benefits are an appealing reason to try fishing.<\/p>\n

Seventeen percent of those who fish also said one of the top reasons they do this activity is because they can adhere to social distancing measures.<\/p>\n

With a plethora of options for outdoor activities, nearly four in 10 respondents have actually become more physically active during their time in quarantine.<\/p>\n

In fact, 32 percent of respondents are participating in more outdoor activities than ever.<\/p>\n

Six in 10 shared they\u2019ve been able to finally take the time to explore their local communities, with local parks, trails and lakes topping the list of new-found areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting outdoors, especially near water, has been shown in studies to reduce stress and anxiety,\u201d said Stephanie Vatalaro, RBFF\u2019s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we created our Get On Board initiative, to raise awareness about how outdoor activities like fishing and boating can help anyone prioritize their mental health while social distancing.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as respondents explore their communities more, it\u2019s also a chance to bond with their families, as a quarter of those who fish also said a perk of the activity is the bond they can share with their loved ones.<\/p>\n

In fact, 63 percent of respondents who\u2019ve ever picked up a fishing rod can\u2019t wait to teach their kids how to fish.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t surprising, as 37 percent of respondents said fishing brings them back to memories of their own childhood.<\/p>\n

Other nostalgic activities include camping (34 percent), going to a lake (31 percent) and boating (23 percent).<\/p>\n

With all of these fond memories and newfound mental health benefits, 69 percent of respondents are planning to incorporate more outdoor activities into their lifestyle even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can all use a little mood boost these days,\u201d said Vatalaro. \u201cThe outdoors has lots of activities to pick from, so there\u2019s something for everyone. If you\u2019re interested in getting started fishing, our website TakeMeFishing.org has beginner tips and an interactive map of places to fish and boat near you.\u201d<\/p>\n
