Since 2014, The Nature, Culture, and Human Health Network (NCH2) has fostered a
growing community of individuals, public entities, and community-based organizations involved in public health equity, environmental justice, community resilience, and habitat/biodiversity care, who are committed to promoting the beneficial connections between human health and nature. The NCH2 Network helps communicate these narratives-- stories that honor the culture, the heritage, the resilience of our region, and how we connect and benefit from nature spaces. NCH2 aspires to catalyze community-based collaborations that have multiple impacts: to improve public health, to ensure equitable access to nature, and to support the health of our ecosystem.
