You’re currently listening to Part 1, where we’ll learn a bit about Dr Rodiek’s professional journey, hear about her research and how essential it is for humans to have access to the nature, and learn about an video education tool she created called Access To Nature: Planning Outdoor Spaces for Aging.
In Part 2 we’ll wrap up the interview, and I have a bit of fun on my own expanding on an easy to use assessment tool that was mentioned in our discussion, the SOS Tool (or the Seniors Outdoor Survey). Stay tuned!
