Northwest Nature and Health Symposium
Nature and Health illuminates the connections between nature and human health and well-being. We work with the community and decision-makers to translate our findings into programs and policies that promote equitable engagement with nature. Each year, we host a symposium to bring together researchers, community members, and decision-makers to learn about new discoveries, discuss new policies and programs, and advance partnerships. We strive to invite speakers who work hand-in-hand to understand the needs of communities who have borne the brunt of social and environmental injustices, who work to address health and access inequities, and who bring critical insights and perspectives on environmental history as well as outdoor recreation.
