We Walk PHL is a program in partnership between Fairmount Park Conservancy, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation that offers free weekly walking groups at various public parks throughout the city. This program welcomes people of all ages and abilities looking to meet their neighbors and improve their physical and mental health.

The Healing Through the Land grassroots initiative empowers communities of color throughout Philadelphia to reconnect, enjoy, and explore all the ways we have historically revered and utilized the land for our healing, nourishment, sustainability, respect, joy, spirituality, community building and environmental justice while building upon and creating new traditions that reflect our modern needs. We are reclaiming our relationship with the land, our community, our ancestors, and ourselves.
