Dear Amy,

Please join us for our upcoming webinar:

Webinar: Community Gardens for Public Health
October 28, 10 AM PT / 11 AM MT / Noon CT / 1 PM ET
Register Here <http://phlpnet.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f440de84cbe4cbdf682249a2&id=f8a418f374&e=40cd93cd20> 

Local government leaders are in a unique position to promote healthy eating and active living in their communities by supporting community gardens. Community gardens are places where neighbors and residents can gather to cultivate plants, vegetables, and fruits and, depending on local laws, keep bees and raise chickens or other livestock and poultry. Community gardens can improve nutrition, physical activity, community engagement, safety, and economic vitality for a neighborhood and its residents and provide environmental benefits to the community at large.

Join NPLAN for a practical training on land use policies that create and preserve community gardens. The webinar will cover:
* Actions that communities can take to support community gardens
* Land use policies that create and preserve community gardens
* Public and private models of community gardens that serve the needs of community members

This webinar is for community advocates, policymakers, and public health officials who are interested in community gardens as a mechanism to improve the food environment of a community. The webinar will be recorded and archived on our website.
