Grounded in world-class science and technology and rooted in communities – the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service connects people to nature and each other. As a Federal agency serving the American people, the Forest Service cares for shared natural resources in ways that promote lasting economic, ecological, and social vitality. Prescribe Outside is supported by Urban Connections, an outreach program in the Eastern Region of the USDA Forest Service. Formed in 2001, the program aims to engage urban communities and build relationships, better fulfilling the agency’s mission of “Caring for the Land and Serving People.” The Forest Service has a long history of working with people who live near National Forests. While this is of great value to the agency, Urban Connections seeks to expand this involvement to residents of major metropolitan areas. The Eastern Region has 9 of the country’s top 20 largest metropolitan areas, making it uniquely positioned to connect with diverse and underserved citizens.
