Greener Parks for Health

Planning and designing green infrastructure and implementing it in individual parks and park systems can further enhance community well-being through increased health, environmental, social and economic benefits, which are especially critical in under-resourced communities that are hit hardest and recover slowest from extreme weather events. NRPA’s Greener Parks for Health initiative highlights the important role that parks play in fostering community and climate resiliency through green infrastructure. In this session, we will discuss the climate impacts we are facing as well as highlight the powerful evidence, policy solutions and actions needed to advance the development of inter-connected, greener parks that address these impacts, improve community health conditions and advance equitable access to quality green spaces.

How to Expand Ecological Restoration and Management

Park natural resource managers share a basic challenge: how to improve the quality of natural resources with limited budget and staff. Drawing on projects in the Upper Midwest and Great Plains, we will present an approach to systemwide natural resource planning that: (1) sets realistic goals using inventory and assessment data, (2) identifies the finances needed to elevate ecological health and resilience, (3) identifies the shortfall in current capacity, (4) schedules annual expenditures that are achievable with current and potential funding, and (5) achieves related CAPRA standards. With this foundation, staff have planned, prioritized, budgeted, and communicated to leaders and constituents the ecological restoration and ongoing maintenance for a decade or more across entire park systems. A county field biologist will share why fast-growing Johnson County, Kansas, embarked on this path, the process they used, and how the plan helped secure additional funds and led to rapid implementation.

Identifying and Addressing Loneliness in Our Communities

Do you suspect that people in your community lack companionship, feel left out or feel isolated from others? If you answered “sometimes” or “often” to those questions, they may be experiencing loneliness. You may have heard about the loneliness problem in recent articles and news publications. One in 3 adults and 1 in 5 school-aged children are affected by loneliness. Loneliness isn’t about being alone, but rather about not feeling connected. People can feel lonely even when among family and friends. Research shows that loneliness has a similar health impact to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It is evident that loneliness is a health problem in our community and parks and recreation is well-positioned to be a part of the solution. In this session, gain exposure to the research on loneliness, learn about evidenced-based screening tools and interventions, and identify how parks and recreation can partner with healthcare organizations to address loneliness in our communities.
