Brushwood is on a mission to explore the intersectionality of art, health, justice, and nature to create a more equitable world.
Our Initiatives
We Believe
Everyone deserves a healthy environment and access to the outdoors. Brushwood creates impact through the following community centered initiatives.
Health, Equity, and Nature Accelerator
In 2023, Brushwood released a first-of-its-kind health, equity, and nature report – pairing research with community-led findings about the relationship between nature and our health and wellbeing. This process and approach is at the core of what we do, and empowers us to turn insights into action, and action into change.
- For Everybody
- For Youth
- For Veterans
Arts & Music
Dynamic year-round programs exploring themes on equity, justice, and the impact of nature on wellbeing with more than 300+ artists each year.
It’s A W.I.N. (Art and Wellness in Nature)
More than 2,000 children and their families access the outdoors through field trips, nature outings, and arts activities with community partners annually.
At Ease: Art and Nature for Veterans
