EUROPARC Webinar: Nature is Good Medicine - practical steps for implementing a Healty Parks Healty People approach.
Contact with nature can deliver real benefits to people's mental, physical, emotional and social health and wellbeing. COVID-19 has raised awareness of the value of Europe's Parks and Protected areas as a setting for people to connect with nature and improve their health and well-being. EUROPARC's Health Parks Healty People Europe (HPHPe) Programme wants to encourage the use of Europe's Parks and Protected Areas as natural health centers.
At this webinar, we will be launching the EUROPARC HPHPe Toolkit which aims to help those responsible for the management of Parks and Protected Areas to realise the potential of their sites as natural health centres in practice. Ways to implement the four key elements of the tool-kit – Making the case; Building partnerships; Developing capacity & practice; and Connecting people & nature – will be explored using presentations and case studies from England, Scotland and Finland.
