Northwest Nature & Health Symposium

We are excited to invite you to the annual Northwest Nature and Health Symposium!

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.

This year, we are hosting 8 expert speakers, 1 moderated panel, and a student poster session.
