This season, we want to thank you for loving and caring for our city’s natural spaces and community gathering places. As you celebrate the holidays, we invite you to pause and spend some time in nature.
It has been known that spending time outdoors has profound mental and physical health benefits. After all, we are a part of nature, not outside of it. Whether you lay under the tall sycamores, pull weeds during Pease Corps volunteer events, catalog fall blooms with iNaturalist, or sip your morning coffee in the Treehouse - a little bit of time outside goes a long way in improving your wellbeing.
Join us at a volunteer event, register for one of the last programming opportunities of the season, visit our Pease Rx webpage to learn about outdoor wellness offerings at Pease Park, or read on for other ways to get involved.
Cheerfully,
Pease Park Conservancy

Winding Down the Year with Pease Park - Nov. 19, 2024
“We serve the park so the park can serve you.”
This statement expresses our commitment at Pease Park Conservancy to protect, operate, and steward this beloved park for everyone. It’s a guiding principle that we think about every single day in the work that we do. Here is how you can help!
Impact of Everyday People - Nov. 12, 2024
Impact. Many of us want to have a positive impact on the world, on other people, on the environment, and on future generations. At times we feel powerless, discouraged, or that our ability to control the way things are moving is limited. So, it helps to stop and take stock of how you have and how you will impact the world around you, in ways that are unique to you, with your specific set of talents, passions, and influence. As Sharon McMahon (aka America’s Government Teacher) points out in her book, The Small and Mighty, everyday people who are not in the history books have helped shape the course of history and they can serve as inspiration to us all.
At Pease Park Conservancy, our sphere of influence as a team is on a beautiful 84-acre urban green space. It’s easy to imagine the amount of development that would be in Pease Park’s place if it weren’t protected and cared for. We want to share the recent impacts that our team of 12 has had on this park and the community around it, by using our unique talents, knowledge, and drive.
