Georgia Nature and Health Connection

Mission: The Georgia Nature and Health Connection empowers Georgians to recognize, experience, and advocate for the interconnected benefits of thriving ecosystems and human health. We foster collaborative partnerships to leverage the latest research and evidence-based strategies and train the next generation to champion equitable, meaningful engagement with Georgia’s natural spaces. 

Goals for First Two Years:

• Create a resource guide of existing programs or policies from members and their communities that contribute to the mission to be organized and stored in our Google Drive for member access.

• Celebrate and promote people or organizations engaged in activities aligned with the mission (e.g., quarterly).

• Adapt or generate training resources such as continuing education credits for professional organizations aligned with the mission.

• Begin outreach activities to increase awareness of the Connection such as tabling at relevant professional conferences. 

• Populate the LinkedIn Group page with recent research findings and how they can be enacted in Georgia communities.
