June 15th  - Dr. John Hartig: Making Nature Part of Everyday Urban Life Through Ralph Wilson Park
A recent scientific study found that between 1800 and 2020, human connection with the natural world has declined by more than 60%. This decline was driven by urbanization, loss of nature experiences, and environmental degradation. Ralph Wilson Park has been designed to create memories through outdoor recreation, reconnect people with nature, and help make nature part of everyday urban life. On this walk through the park, you will see and learn about creative ways of bringing conservation to cities.
