Plan H - Healthy Natural Environments

This action guide can help you to understand how natural environments and health benefits are interconnected, as well as ways for you to support the development of such spaces. The guide provides a definition of natural environments; explains the role of natural environments in human health and wellbeing; explains the role of local governments and legislation in improving natural environments; and provides examples of local government tools and examples of action from British Columbian communities.

Although this resource is specifically related to the B.C. context, the definitions it includes and the opportunities for engagement that it highlights are applicable to a broad range of natural environments.
