Join NHH-UT at our 3rd annual conference!
In today’s divided world, nature offers a shared space that fosters belonging and connection across communities. This conference highlights how intentional, inclusive access to nature can create environments where everyone feels valued and connected—promoting health and well-being for all.
With keynote speaker José González and a panel on nature equity, alongside presentations from pilot projects, the event will showcase how nature can build bridges across differences and support collective healing.
Held at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, the conference will combine dialogue, learning, and an outdoor experience to emphasize that nature is a powerful common ground—when designed with a sense of belonging in mind.
