Promoting Parks, Nature and Health Standing Committee

Parks Forum members work together through our Promoting Parks, Nature and Health Standing Committee, to communicate our key messages and share ideas and products. By working together, we are maximising the use of our resources, and streamlining information to avoid repetition.

World Parks Day

One of the big events each year which we co-ordinate is Parks For Life: World Parks Day held in September each year, this initiative is designed to provide a focus for communicating our Healthy Parks Healthy People message to the community, and sharing our message with organisations which promote similar philosophies about the importance of parks to the health of our society.
