Speaker: Antonia Malchik, Author
Topic: “Public Lands and the Space to Walk Free”
Walking, particularly walking in nature, has been shown by decades of research to improve all aspects of human health, from cardiovascular function and bone strength to depression and risk of Alzheimer's disease. Human and non-human flourishing cannot be separated from our access to nature, and the health of land and water. Explore how wilderness and intact ecosystems like the Bob Marshall – and the public's access to both – play a vital role in our individual physical and mental well-being, but also in ensuring fundamental human liberties. Learn more >>
