Description

Nature prescriptions were named one of the top eight global wellness trends in 2019. And it's no surprise — research shows that kids and adults who spend more time in nature are happier and healthier. Join us to learn more about PaRx — Canada's first national, evidence-based nature prescription program, powered by the BC Parks Foundation — and how nature-and-health principles can be applied in landscape work to improve personal and community well-being.
