Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the Green Activity Program that was designed with people living with memory challenges and their study partners to see if it can be done and if they enjoy the program. "Green activities" are nature activities that the person enjoys and can be done with other people or pets. For example, dog walking, hiking, outdoor yoga, and gardening are all green activities. The purpose of the program is to help people living with memory challenges participate in nature activities they enjoy. The goal of the program is to help people stay active and improve their health and well-being.
