The evidence about nearby nature and human health response is extensive, and we continue to learn more. Communities are now working to translate that evidence to community-based, outdoor programs to promote human wellness.

The science about nearby nature and human health response has been growing for decades. Local governments agencies, the private sector, and NGOs are acting on the evidence, creating programs for human health benefits. Extension Agents can help support program development and best practices. This webinar will start with a presentation of nature and health program examples, then open the webinar to discussion and Q&A about science to program translations.
