KELI Webinar: Healing Communities with Green Spaces with Dr. Rachel Keith

KRC continued the 2025 season of our Kentucky Environmental Leadership Institute (KELI) with a seminar led by Dr. Rachel Keith on the powerful health benefits of nearby nature. Dr. Keith highlighted how projects like the Green Heart Project and Trager Microforest demonstrate the ways parks, trees, and green infrastructure can reduce stress, improve heart health, and build stronger communities. This session explored how nature-based solutions can address urban health challenges — from air pollution to social inequities — and what that means for the future of urban design.
