There are opportunities to provide natural environments for children and families in and beyond parks. Increasing the amount of green space and the natural quality of those spaces is essential to healthy habitat for wildlife and healthy spaces for children to live, learn, and play. Through roundtable discussions and action planning, we will discuss strategies for increasing biodiversity and green space in cities where communities drive the planning, implementation and engagement in these vibrant places.
