I found this article on ways to "boost" health and it looks like forest bathing is the answer! Forest bathing is the English translation of Shinrin-yoku which is a Japanese term for wandering in the woods. It is scientifically proven to boost health. Though we have discussed how going on walks can help our appreciation of nature, we haven't necessarily discussed actual health benefits. Environmental aesthetics is truly inter-disciplinary in nature. This is just one example of how aesthetic appreciation of nature is contingent upon the knowledge of and immersion in it.
