To further the connection between the health and environmental sectors, and to advance important cross-sector work being done in these areas, The Intertwine Alliance continues its series of biannual health & nature forums. Please join us to learn more about regional on-the-ground health and nature projects and how to engage and partner with them. Catherine Carlton, deputy director at the Institute at the Golden Gate in San Francisco, will give a keynote presentation on how prescription play programs across the U.S., including the Portland metro area’s own RxPlay pilot, have connected underserved audiences to parks and recreation.
Learn about and engage with other projects, too, including:
- Northwest Earth Institute’s EcoChallenge
- Greening of Schoolyards
- RxPlay
- Health & Outdoors, an Oregon Action Initiative
- Multnomah County Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
- Oregon Climate and Health Program
- Safe Routes to Schools
- Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Centers
- ROSE CDC/Lents Green Ring
The event is free and open to all, and we hope anyone interested will attend. Light breakfast will be served.
Please RSVP by Thursday, May 11. For more information click here. Questions? Email Lauren Gottfredson.
