Possessing parallel tracts of stunning and unspoiled lands, Canadian healthcare practitioners are joining onto an American movement to prescribe national parks to improve their patients’ physical and mental health.

The pass gives people free entrance to over 80 national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas—and the nature prescription program is expected to spread across every province and territory by the end of 2022.

In the States, the program allows physicians to use zip codes to find nearby parks to prescribe to patients. Once a script has been written, through a simple software it’s easy for physicians to send reminders to fulfill it, and to track how many times a patient has visited the prescribed park.
