DYK ⬆️ biodiversity = ⬆️ health benefits?
It's called the 'Biodiversity Hypothesis'!
What kind of biodiversity does your favourite nature spot have? 🌼

Everyone can benefit from a daily dose of nature 🌺
A study found that 90% of cancer survivors reported better strength, agility and endurance after participating in a gardening program.
How are YOU getting outside this weekend? 🤔
#HealthyByNature #NaturePrescriptions
This #EarthWeek , we're celebrating BC Parks Foundation's #PaRx program in the #Maritimes ! ⛵️
To celebrate getting outside for your health, make sure to schedule in some nature time with your loved ones, and reflect on how you can give back to the planet 🌎️
#NaturePrescriptions
We’ve partnered with Evo Car Share to make it easier for people in Vancouver and Victoria to get closer to nature!
Beginning today, patients with a PaRx prescription can register for a FREE Evo membership and get 100 minutes free.

We asked patients with a PaRx nature prescription 'How has spending time in nature helped your health?'
This is one of their answers.

Heading to #ICAM2024 AFMC this Saturday City of Vancouver?
Join me and the BC Parks Foundation team for 2 special events:
🥾 A guided urban nature walk + talk from 7-8 am
💡 An ask-me-anything session about #PaRx and the nature + health connection from 12-1 pm
Hope to see you there!
April = Garden time! 🌼🌱🌷
More than just pretty flowers, gardening is a powerful tool to boost your health like reducing stress, supercharging the effects of exercise, and decreasing symptoms of depression.
Have you started your garden yet? 🌻

World Health Organization (WHO)-IUCN’s recent #COP28 report featured #PaRx as a silo-breaking way to educate and empower health professionals to engage in nature-based solutions for human health.

'Nature is spiritual. It's cultural. And up here, it's medicine.'
Thank you Expedia + Destination Canada for this wonderful ode to BC Parks Foundation's #PaRx and the world-leading work we do to connect people to nature for health.

DYK that your PaRx prescription can get you 20% off your admission to Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver?
PaRx is on a mission to connect people to nature across Canada. A domed lush paradise, Bloedel features 100+ exotic birds, koi fish, and 500 exotic plants for you to explore!
“These findings have led to urgent calls for ways to reprioritise the connection of people to the environment, as a key public health strategy” 🌳🚴♂️
