26. Parkscriptions: Your Prescription to Get Outside with Todd Elsworth

26. Parkscriptions: Your Prescription to Get Outside with Todd Elsworth

Have you ever wished you could get a doctor’s note to go take a hike?

Well, in episode 26 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss parkscriptions– your prescription to get outside.

It is no secret that we often feel better after just spending 20 minutes outside, whether we are sitting and forest bathing or on a walk in the park. The physical and mental benefits are astounding. There are several movements that focus on helping people get outside more often and many organizations like the National Park Service and Recreate Northwest that make opting outdoors easier.

To help me discuss what parkscriptions are and how the idea can be added to your life, I’d like to introduce Todd Elsworth.

Todd Elsworth likes to play outside, go on adventures with family and friends, and give back to his community. In 2013, Elsworth turned his passion into a profession, founding the Bellingham-based non-profit Recreation Northwest. The organization’s mission to “teach the health benefits of nature, promote outdoor recreation, and steward the places where we play” guides his work.

Recreation Northwest provides opportunities for people to be introduced to beginner and intermediate experiences learning outdoor recreation skills, enjoying the health benefits of being mindful outdoors through immersive experiences in nature, and having a local guide to connect our parks and our people together through adventure and storytelling.
