“Go play outside” is not just for kids. Time in nature is an economic, health, academic and productivity engine. Community leaders, physicians, counselors, health care workers, teachers, and parents will learn how the natural world impacts all aspects of child and adult life. Even wildlife can play a role in resolving loneliness. A brief park tour led by a Hays County Master Naturalist and the Blue Hole Park’s architect and encounters with wildlife will kick off the event.
