It will enhance the understanding of how a total environment and the human-animal-nature interactions it fosters impacts the long-term health of a community, families and individuals. To make this longitudinal study possible, the Harmony on Lake Eloise development team must first adopt and integrate both evidence-based best practices and novel strategies for human-animal-nature interaction and community and ecosystem health and wellness. Consequently, the study demands two phases, the first of which is detailed herein and is the purpose of this Phase I study.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bFunding Organization: The Harmony On Lake Eloise Development, Inc.<br \/>\nAmount: $15,909<br \/>\nProject period: 3\/1\/2018 &#8211; 3\/1\/2019<br \/>\nCollaborative Team: Faculties from University of Florida and UCF-CCIE<br \/>\nPI at CCIE: Thomas T.H.
