PaRx, an initiative by BC Parks Foundation and driven by health-care professionals, is Canada’s first national, evidence-based nature prescription program. The goal of PaRx is to promote prescribing time in nature for lifelong health benefit.
This online resource includes useful tools to make prescribing time in nature simple, fun and effective: quick tips, patient handouts, a nature prescription file customized with a unique provider code, and instructions on how to prescribe and log nature prescriptions (once registered).
