The Trump administration is rolling back environmental regulations, claiming it's good for the economy. But research shows that conservation is better both for public health and for job creation.

Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of many great North American city parks, understood that ready access to nature made cities healthier places to live.

The COVID-19 crisis highlights why cities should invest in green space, says Marc Berman. "Nature is not an amenity—it's a necessity."

When it comes to getting a boost from parks, not all experiences of nature are the same. New research shows wildness is key.

The shape of parks may be key to getting the most out of them, according to a new study that shows irregularly shaped parks cut mortality risk.

Walkability, not proximity, determines how much people enjoy their local park, research suggests.
