SHIFT Summit 2022

The SHIFT Summit is a national gathering of land managers, researchers, funders, educators, retailers, and conservationists, along with outdoor recreation, health, military, and nature therapy professionals who share experiences, evidence, and ideas for better linking of both humans and nature. The Summit is based on sound science combined with experiential, health, stewardship, and land management aspects to balance equitable reciprocity and access to the places, flora, and fauna that we all need to exist and thrive.

The theme is the Transdisciplinary Integration of Nature and Wellbeing and we will focus on advancing equitable access to preventive health through nature and the outdoors. The program will include a variety of research, practice, and experiential aspects, including a keynote address, panels, roundtable discussions, lightning talks, nature and forest therapy practices, and plenty of opportunities for active outdoor recreation.
