Abstract
Healthy By Nature was originally inspired by the ‘Healthy Parks Healthy People’ international movement that explored the connection between human health and nature, and in particular the important role that parks play. Spearheaded by Becs Hoskins at BC Parks and Bob Peart from the Elders Council for Parks in BC, a wide variety of organizations came together to host the 2011 ‘Healthy By Nature Forum’ in Vancouver, BC. The Healthy by Nature Charter sparked momentum and many of the ideas and connections have carried on since the conference. We are honoured to carry on the spirit of exploring and advancing the links between human health and nature. As we face challenges with COVID-19 and climate change, we need to stay mentally and physically healthy, building our resilience to stress and unexpected events. Spending time in nature is a great way to do that.
