Nature and Health illuminates the connections between nature and human health and well-being. We work with the community and decision makers to translate our findings into programs and policies that promote equitable engagement with nature.

Each year, we host a symposium to bring together researchers, community members, and decision makers to learn about new discoveries, discuss new policies and programs, and advance partnerships. Early bird registration ends on April 1. Registration closes on April 27, and there will be no day-of registration. 

Our symposia are:

• Led by our core values of equity and justice
• An opportunity to cultivate your network
• Filled with inspiring seminars and panels from leading experts
