Tiburon Ridge in San Francisco, California rivals any postcard image. Green, grand landscapes and panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, this land was a target for both conservationists and developers. But the conservationists won! With the help of our incredible partners at Marin County Parks and the Wildlife Conservation Board, this landscape is now protected as a public park. These efforts have been decades in the making and we’re thrilled this space will enhance recreational access, connect local trails, expand wildlife habitat, and continue to be a beloved green space for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/e3SacXjz

Vermont is known for its awe-inspiring landscapes, but not all Vermonters have the same access to local greenspace—that’s why we partnered with the Town of Wolcott to create the Wolcott Community Forest! Near beloved pathways, a local elementary school, and sporting fields, this space will allow residents to hike on a network of trails, kids can walk safely to and from school, and precious wildlife habitat will be protected forever.

Save the Date 🗓 September 25! Join us and our community partners, Parque Padrinos, as we reveal how activating a park generated a movement with long-ranging impacts on community power and health equity. Our very own Pooja S.

We will dive into the academic research around social capital, cohesion, and civic engagement through park engagement, and explore questions together such as: 🌳 How can partnerships with the health sector improve community parks and strengthen democracy? 🌳 What’s the role of philanthropy in supporting park equity and community power? This session is presented in the Rx Foundation's ongoing webinar series, Power is a Social Determinant of Health.

We love schoolyard smiles! We worked with students at Brooklyn Center Elementary to imagine what their new Community Schoolyard could look like—modern, fun, and green. Now, we’re excited to see the first phase come to life with support from our partners at City of Brooklyn Center, Life Time Foundation, L.L.Bean, and Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund! We recently celebrated its playground opening with more climate-smart features on the way, which will connect over 800 students and 3,000 people within a 10-minute walk to the benefits of awesome green space. https://lnkd.in/eezRFCcV

In Nicodemus, the historic First Baptist Church was established in 1877 and represents this National Historic Site's vital pillars—church, self-government, education, home, and business. It was even the first building in the town to receive electricity in the early 1950s. To help tell the whole story of Nicodemus, we’re working with the local community, National Park Service, and National Park Foundation to safeguard the spaces that represent its spirit, including the recent protection of the First Baptist Church.
