Outreach

The Nature and Health Center is deeply rooted in the Jacksonville community, building strong, long-term partnerships through collaborative events, educational outreach, and shared research initiatives. By serving on local boards such as the Timucuan Parks Foundation’s Healthy Parks Advisory and Project One Health Jax Advisory Council and working alongside partners like the Nature and Health Alliance, Children & Nature Network, REI, and the Winston Family Foundation, the Center fosters meaningful relationships that amplify its impact. 

These partnerships have laid the foundation for innovative community programming, including Florida's first-ever Nature and Health Symposium—a milestone event that brings together leaders in health, environment, and education to explore the transformative power of nature as a tool for individual and community well-being.
