One way to stay healthy is to simply step outside
Dive into the resources below to enhance your connection with nature during your next park visit.
Thank you for your interest in starting or expanding your wellness journey.
Through forest bathing and other wellness programming, we are excited to share our love of nature and its potential for healing. We work with all ages and many community partners to offer programming to diverse audiences across Pittsburgh.
We invite you to join us for a forest bathing experience which incorporates time for slowing down, space for contemplation, connection with others, and moments of curiosity and joy. We hope you found these resources helpful and we are looking forward to meeting you in person.
-Warmly, Patty and Kathryn, Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy staff members and certified forest therapy guides
Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy’s forest bathing initiative is supported, in part, through a generous investment from Citrone 33 Foundation.
WE ARE ALL IN. ARE YOU?
Pittsburghers need parks. They're where families create lasting memories together, where people of all ages connect to nature, and where all of us can simply enjoy a breath of fresh air. Parks, in return, do more than we realize. They clean the air, filter stormwater, lower stress, and provide a natural sanctuary.
We believe in the power of parks. We are all in. Are you?
Your Parks Matter
Parks thrive when they have sun, soil, rain…and you. You ensure programs are offered, trees are planted, capital projects are funded, flowers are tended to, research is pursued. There is nothing the parks can’t do with you behind them.
