TOOLS FOR COMMUNITY BASED OUTDOOR INITIATIVES 

​

• Outdoor Recreation Roundtable Rural Economic Development Toolkit. This essential resource, built upon three years of extensive research across the United States, is a comprehensive guide for communities looking to strengthen their economies through outdoor recreation. 

​

• Park RX Toolkit. The Park Prescription Program Toolkit is an interactive, step-by-step guide for agencies interested in starting their own Park Prescription program. Park Prescription programs (also called ParkRx) involve health or social service providers encouraging people to spend time in nature to improve their health and well-being. They can be as diverse as the communities for which they are designed and often include collaboration between park and public land agencies, healthcare providers, and community partners.
