Fall 2023 Community Green Grants Call for Proposals

“I ran into a two groups of kids playing on a huge tree that had come down in a storm in a local Philadelphia park. Hearing their laughter, seeing their smiles, and watching how they connected with each other in nature was inspiring and exemplified the Urban Health Lab mission to build health neighborhoods so all kids and adults can enjoy nature."
