Attendees will learn about the evidence-based research behind the nature-human health connection as well as understand how to apply nature-inspired practices in their life. There will also be an overview as to how the certification will increase marketability for today and the future.

The certificate program is aimed at university students or professionals in the fields of health, environmental education, youth programming, public health, psychology, long-term care, parks and workplace wellness.
