• #Take17 Initiative

The Nevada Department of Wildlife’s #Take17 Initiative encourages Nevadans to spend at least 17 minutes per day outside. Research has shown that just 120 minutes per week spent in nature—or 17 minutes per day—is associated with good health and mental wellbeing.

The #Take17 website offers ideas and resources that can help you find enjoyable ways to get outside. Whether you hike, camp, fish, listen to bird sounds, or go for a walk, #Take17 can help you find what’s right for you while highlighting the mental and physical health benefits of spending time in nature.
