What if your city could become a National Park City — a place that’s greener, healthier, and wilder for everyone?
Join us to learn about the National Park City Foundation and how your city can become a National Park City. Join this webinar to learn about the movement that is growing across the globe. This international panel will share the history of the movement, how to become a National Park City, the efforts underway to grow the movement across the globe, and the efforts underway in North America.
National Park Cities are long term grassroots movements for everyone making their city greener, healthier and wilder. London became the first National Park City in 2019; with Adelaide, Australia joining in 2021; and Chattanooga, TN, USA and Breda, The Netherlands in 2025.
