This season, we want to thank you for loving and caring for our city’s natural spaces and community gathering places. As you celebrate the holidays, we invite you to pause and spend some time in nature.
It has been known that spending time outdoors has profound mental and physical health benefits. After all, we are a part of nature, not outside of it. Whether you lay under the tall sycamores, pull weeds during Pease Corps volunteer events, catalog fall blooms with iNaturalist, or sip your morning coffee in the Treehouse - a little bit of time outside goes a long way in improving your wellbeing.
Join us at a volunteer event, register for one of the last programming opportunities of the season, visit our Pease Rx webpage to learn about outdoor wellness offerings at Pease Park, or read on for other ways to get involved.
Cheerfully,
Pease Park Conservancy
