Join us for a discussion on the benefits of green spaces and strategies being employed to equitably expand access to communities of color. Co-hosted by the Blue Sky Funders Forum and Grantmakers in Health, this webinar is open to all funders.

Trails, parks, and green spaces play an important role in public health, with benefits ranging from increased physical activity to numerous positive behavioral health outcomes. While need and demand for them rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to access public places for outdoor recreation and refuge remains a privilege for some rather than a resource for all.

Join us for a discussion of the growing evidence base for the benefits of green spaces, some of the current interventions and strategies being employed to more equitably expand access to communities of color and low-income communities, and why green space access should be included in every funders’ health equity strategy.

Speakers include Juan Martinez (Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions) and Courtney Schultz (Health & Technology Partners, LLC).
