Time with Nature is always time well spent, this September, the People and Parks Foundation have extended an invitation to all of us, no matter where we live, to make a to spend intentional time connecting with nature. It’s well documented that connecting with and caring for nature delivers multiple physical, mental and social health and wellbeing benefits.
To encourage and maybe challenge people to connect with nature in different ways, four weekly themes have been developed:
Week 1: Healthy Country Healthy People
Week 2: The Nature Dose – Part 1: Feel better for free
Week 3: Noticing Nature – at work, rest, learning and play
Week 4: The Nature Dose – Part 2: Caring for Nature
The campaign encourages us to acknowledge and explore the interconnectedness between humans and the natural environment. We are a part of nature, not apart from nature and
nature connects us all. The official campaign is being run through September, finishing up in October. If you
haven’t signed up to make your yet, you can sign up via this link:
