Research shows that access to nature is essential for our mental health and physical well-being. But just over a decade ago, that idea was far from common knowledge. Join the University of Washington for the 2025 Doug Walker Lecture, where environmental philanthropic leader Marc Berejka will share reflections on how the global movement for nature and health was born, lessons we’ve learned along the way, and how we can all play a part in helping our communities benefit from the healing power of the outdoors.

Ticket price includes access to a special pre-reception designed to spark meaningful connections across Seattle’s vibrant sustainability and environmental science community. Complimentary gourmet creations provided by Cameron Catering, consistently ranked among Seattle’s finest!
