Public Greenways Healthy Parks, Healthy People Spark a National Conversation
More than 100 leaders in healthcare, environment, government, business and nonprofits recently engaged in a Healthy Parks, Healthy People US forum to determine how the National Park Service can help drive health and wellness programs in local, state and national parks. “We aim to increase the awareness of all parks as places for exercise and healthy living,” explains National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis. Parks across the country are now joining others around
the world in reconnecting the dots between a healthy, natural world and the health of humankind. As Jarvis notes, “Parks are a direct reflection of the American ideal that… personal access to the natural world plays a vital role in our physical and emotional well-being.”

Peace Index States Earn New Peace Index
The inaugural United States Peace Index (USPI), created by the international think-tank, the Institute for Economics and Peace, provides the first-ever ranking of the 50 U.S. states based on their levels of peace. The USPI shows Maine is the most peaceful U.S. state, with New York, California and Texas recording the highest increases in peace since 1991. The USPI report reveals that peace in the United
States has improved since 1995, primarily driven by a substantial decrease in homicide and violent crime. Peace is significantly correlated with economic opportunity, education and health, high school rate, access to health insurance and
graduation the
percent of infant mortality. The 10 most peaceful
states identified are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota, North Dakota, Utah, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Iowa and Washington. Maine topped the list of states on three of the five USPI indicators: number of violent cr imes, number
police officers and incarceration numbers (the homicide rate and ease of access to small arms are the other two). Regionally, southern states
were the least peaceful, while states in the Northeast were most peaceful. The Midwest and West were on a par, with midwestern states being slightly more peaceful.
