Outdoor equity for a healthier Oregon
OPHI recognizes that time outdoors can improve health, but not everyone has access to safe, welcoming natural places. Rural communities, communities of color, low-income communities, people with disabilities, and other groups face barriers to spending time in the outdoors and are also more likely to experience health disparities than white, middle- and high-income people. This project offers resources, tools, and technical support to health and outdoor providers and program leaders who are helping bridge the gap between nature and well-being.
