2023 SHIFT Summit

The SHIFT Summit is a national gathering of great minds who care about improving the intersection of nature and preventive health for humans and lands. Attendees tend to be researchers, policy managers, health providers, planners, governmental, outdoor recreation, business, non-profit, military, foundations and philanthropic funders, educators, retailers, faith-based, conservationists, and/or nature-intervention professionals and organizations.

People who care come together to share stories, immersive experiences, evidence, programs, and ideas to help solve the natural conflicts that come when connecting more people into nature. We discuss the mental, cognitive, physical, and spiritual benefits nature can provide, while taking care of the lands at the same time. The Summit is based on sound peer-reviewed science and trends combined with experiential, health, stewardship, policy, practice, and management aspects to balance equitable access to the places, programs, flora, and fauna that we believe is necessary to exist and thrive.
