In an exciting partnership, Conservation Halton and Halton Healthcare have teamed up with the PaRx program to offer a revolutionary "nature prescription" to residents in Halton. This program allows health professionals to prescribe 10 free visits to Conservation Halton parks, empowering patients to experience the incredible therapeutic benefits of spending time in nature.

The nature prescription program is being described as a "game-changer" for the local community. It encourages outdoor activity, fosters a connection with nature, promotes physical health, and nurtures mental resilience and environmental stewardship.

Spending more time in nature is seen as a great way to treat and prevent chronic diseases, keep healthy, and even extend life expectancy. Certain diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes are linked to chronic stress, and nature can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and potentially delay the onset of these conditions.

After obtaining a nature prescription from a healthcare professional, patients must fill out a PaRx Request Form on the Conservation Halton website. The process is designed to be very simple and accessible.

Conservation Halton is the first park program in Ontario to offer free entry passes to people with nature prescriptions. With eight stunning parks to explore, including Crawford Lake, Hilton Falls, and Rattlesnake Point, there are plenty of opportunities for residents to connect with the great outdoors.

This innovative partnership between PaRx, Conservation Halton, and Halton Healthcare is a game-changer for community health and wellness. By empowering residents to experience the restorative power of nature, this nature prescription program has the potential to transform lives and create a healthier, more vibrant Halton region.
