Abstract

The planned Head of the Crow (HoTC) State Park near Sewanee, TN offers a chance to promote student well-being, stewardship, and community connection. Natural spaces support mental health, place attachment, conservation behaviors, and community cohesion (Hunter et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2021; Mosimane et al., 2012; Wood et al., 2017). This study explores student perceptions of the park’s potential to advance these outcomes.
