PARKS+ Project
An initiative to build pathways for collaboration between park agencies and the broader network of park professionals
The PARKS+ Project supports our linkages to the broader parks community through our collaboration with the Collective for Parks, Conservation, Innovation, and Leadership (CPCIL) —a platform that excels in interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, communities of practice, social capital development, and transformative learning.
Together, this collaboration enhances the capacity of park professionals to engage with a wider network—amplifying shared learning, driving innovation, and deepening collective impact across the sector.
Webinars
CPC annually co-hosts four webinars throughout CPCIL’s webinar series. These webinars feature insights from park leaders across diverse jurisdictions and showcases initiatives led by CPC.
Knowledge Base
CPC is dedicated to amplifying parks-related research and knowledge that informs, inspires, and supports evidence-based action across the parks sector. In addition to contributing resources to CPCIL’s knowledge base, CPC helps connect PEER+ network members with relevant resources and tools to support their work.

Open forums and communities of practice designed to foster collaboration with the extended parks community, such as:
- Friends of… groups
- Facility operators
- Consultants
- Industry
- Guides and permit holders
