Nature and the Outdoors provide us with a multitude of benefits, from personal and social health benefits, to cultural connections rooted in tradition and history. Reconnecting to the outdoors is a necessity at the personal and community level, from young to old, across cultures and generations. It is a way to heal the self and community, to value the cultural connections of communities, to think about the future while protecting our open spaces and building on the conservation successes of the past. Come listen to how these leaders are working to reconnect ourselves and communities with the outdoors and why this matters.
