An initiative of BC Parks Foundation dedicated to ensuring all Canadians have the chance to experience the benefits of nature. By making it easy and accessible to get outside, we’re strengthening both human and planetary health.
Many of us recognize exercise, nutrition, and sleep as the three pillars of health. A growing body of research proves that nature belongs right alongside them. Time outdoors is for more than leisure or adventure—it's a key ingredient in a healthy life.
The more people experience nature’s benefits, the more they’ll work to protect it. That’s why we’re making it easy to get outside—so that together, we can ensure parks and wild spaces thrive for now, for all, for always.
Access to green spaces generates over $8 trillion in global mental health benefits each year. Imagine what we could do if everyone had the chance to experience nature’s healing power. The potential to improve lives—and reduce healthcare costs—is enormous.
