The Conservation Foundation’s Nature Rx efforts promote nature-based health and wellness activities throughout our service region. We build partnerships that help local community groups and organizations build capacity and create meaningful opportunities to engage people outdoors. This includes work with healthcare professionals, recovery groups, youth-serving organizations, park districts and forest preserves, and many others.

These events include forest therapy, forest bathing, workshops, hikes, recreation, mindfulness in nature experiences, nature and art programming, agroecology programs, and more. Each experience is tailored to the needs of the partners and participants.
