A great speaker on this subject would be Robert Garcia of The City Project. I've
cc'd him on this message.

Subject: [H+T--Friends] Seeking TRB Session Speakers
Hello H+T members and friends:
I am helping to plan for a TRB session tentatively titled “Enhancing access to public
lands for underserved communities in urban areas” which is intended to foster a discussion
on current research and initiatives related to connecting less advantaged populations to
America’s vast network of public lands including national parks and recreation areas,
forest service land, and fish and wildlife preserves. The session responds to a growing
movement among federal land management agencies to provide access for underserved urban
areas to the health and recreational opportunities available in public lands.
We are currently looking to identify possible speakers who would be able to provide
insight into the relationship between physical/mental health indicators and access to the
outdoors and active transport opportunities in public lands. We’d greatly appreciate any
recommendations for speakers from the health and transportation world who might be
interested in participating. Please email me off-line with any suggestions.
Best,
Kara
