Presenters shared lessons learned, including best practices, for connecting students to campus nature for their health and wellbeing, particularly during the pandemic.
Our keynote speaker was Dr. Michelle Kondo, a researcher with the U.S. Forest Service, who addressed the value of nature in helping individuals heal from the COVID-19 pandemic.
