Various regional initiatives in Italy are focusing on environmental engagement, accessibility, and the therapeutic benefits of nature. In Calabria, the Kalabria Trekking association has launched a crowdfunding campaign to improve the Kalabria Coast to Coast hiking trail. The project seeks to fund accessibility upgrades and digital services, such as multilingual audio guides and Italian Sign Language videos. Meanwhile, in the Amalfi Coast, the Francesca Mansi Prize for the Environment has introduced a theme for 2027 titled ‘Adotta un bene’ (Adopt a good), which encourages students to document and propose protection methods for local environmental or cultural assets. In other regions, programs are emphasizing the connection between nature and health. In Alba and Bra, educational meetings titled ‘Nati con la Natura – Outdoor education: i benefici del contatto con la natura’ are being held for parents and educators to discuss the developmental benefits of outdoor experiences for young children. Additionally, in Quartucciu, the association La voce delle piante is providing training in therapeutic gardening to explore how contact with greenery can support psychophysical wellbeing and social inclusion. Recent developments have expanded this focus on nature-based health. In Cantagallo, associations Auser La Sartoria and Atto Primo held a meeting regarding the Acquerino Cantagallo Reserve’s potential for promoting well-being, as the Tuscany Region works through its Regional Center for Integrated Medicine to develop nature-based public health pathways. In Florence, the Accademia dei Georgofili hosted a conference titled ‘Therapeutic Horticulture: Scientific Foundations, Applications, and Perspectives in Italy’ to address the fragmentation of horticultural activities in social and rehabilitative settings and to seek professional standards and scientific evaluations.
