Keynote Address
We're excited to host Dr. Pooja Sarin Tandon, Health Director for the Trust for Public Land, who will speak on Nature and Health — a Pediatrician's Perspective.
Dr. Tandon is a general pediatrician and health researcher who has dedicated her career to advancing children’s health by promoting healthy behaviors and reducing disparities. In particular, her work has focused on play equity (“play for all children”), and promoting access to physical activity and outdoor recreation. In her new book, Digging into Nature: Outdoor Adventures for Happier and Healthier Kids, she explores how and why children and their families are happier, healthier, and more resilient when spending time outdoors. Dr. Tandon is also (co-)author on several other papers and studies about the relation between the outdoors and healthy children, healthy communities.
A big Thank You to our sponsors!
