Nature in Our Community — Why Biophilia Matters

Join EcoAction Arlington for an evening online to explore biophilic cities and a preview of Arlington’s plan for integrating the natural world into our community as we develop, grow and thrive.

Biophilia is the premise that humans possess an innate connection to the natural world, supported by recent studies revealing that connection to nature continues to be a vital component of human health and well-being. Integrating the natural environment into the built environment further supports environmental resiliency, sustainability and economic vitality.

We’re pleased to feature the following speakers who were originally scheduled to speak at our March 11 annual meeting which was canceled: Stella Tarnay, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Capital Nature Jennifer Fioretti, Deputy Director, Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation
