Your Community’s NatureScore™
Measuring the health impacts of greening in your communities
NatureScore measures the predictive health impacts created by the quantity and quality of nature in a given area. Urban residents often have limited access to nature, which is a problem because there is a mountain of research connecting nature exposure with positive health impacts. NatureScore provides a way for cities to visualize and act on that connection.
