The evidence base for the powerful role nature can play in supporting health is huge. We believe that every recovering patient and hard-working healthcare professional should have direct and easy access to nature. Your sponsorship can make this a reality, one tree, one meadow, one bench at a time.

The funds you contribute could be used in a number of impactful ways.

If you are intrerested in becoming a corporate sponsor, please email us directly. Find out who are current corporate sponsors are.
