Your donations support our program work in the following areas, with an emphasis on launching our Parkscriptions program:

 
 
 
 
Recreation Northwest is excited to be working with local healthcare providers to launch Parkscriptions, an alternative to subscribing only medication for patients suffering from obesity, diabetes, and mental health issues. 

In the first three months of our pilot, five healthcare providers made 121 prescriptions for time outdoors. We now have 40 healthcare providers starting to prescribe time outdoors. 

We built WhatcomParkFinder.org to assist them in finding the most appropriate park for their patients.

Your support for Parkscriptions will give health care providers the tools necessary to integrate outdoor physical activity into their recommendations for healthy living. We are also working closely with local government agencies to address pockets of our community who face added challenges. Every person deserves to enjoy the abundance of outdoor opportunities in our area for healthy, active living.

Together, we can improve the overall health of our community!

RECREATION ECONOMY

Bringing the outdoor recreation community together to learn from each other, raise the profile of this key sector of our economy and advocate for the value of outdoor recreation and our public lands at the state and local level. Your support helps grow this program area and continue to offer the Recreation Northwest EXPO free to the public. 

FAIRHAVEN PARK

Stewarding the Fairhaven Park trail system we have utilized for years for the Traverse by removing invasive species, rerouting trails to improve access and restoring wetland habitat through native plantings. Your support allows us to continue our Stewardship work in the park.
