ParkRx Day: Forest Therapy Walk

Past event
Apr 28, 2019, 2 to 4:30 PM

This year's National ParkRx Day is focused on engaging and thanking health care providers for bringing their patients outdoors for better health.

We invite you to join us a Forest Therapy Walk (FREE for Health Care Providers with Coupon code: Health)

This will be a time for you to unplug, slow down and de-stress from your daily routine. Follow your Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, Duncan Murdoch through a series of sensory connection invitations to practice Forest Bathing and understand its effects on physical and mental health. A locally foraged tea will be served in the forest to complete the experience.

National ParkRx Day is a national celebration promoting the growing movement of prescribing parks and nature to patients to improve human health. Every year, it falls on the last Sunday of National Park Week. Additionally, National ParkRx Day encourages everyone to start seeing visits to parks and public lands as very important parts of their health. In 2015, the U.S. Surgeon General released a call to action to promote walking and walkable communities. National ParkRx Day builds on this call to action and provides citizens with parks and green spaces to promote public health.

Get your tickets to reserve a spot and we'll see you there! Registration required.
