How Nature Friendly Are You?
A Year of Living Sustainably Week 5
Connecting with Nature
Spending time outdoors, immersing ourselves in nature, and developing a deeper connection with the environment can be incredibly rewarding. Engaging in activities like country walks, gardening, or simply observing wildlife in their natural habitats can foster a sense of appreciation for the world around us.
Advocating for Nature
Being nature-friendly also involves actively advocating for the protection of natural spaces and wildlife. Supporting environmental organisations, participating in community initiatives - such as the Tor Hill Lane project in Wells and raising awareness about critical issues are ways to contribute to positive change.
Teaching the Next Generation
Instilling nature-friendly values in the younger generation is vital for the sustainable future of our planet. By teaching children about the environment, its fragility, and the importance of responsible living, we can inspire a generation that cares deeply for nature. To aid in this endeavour, we have prepared an Eye Spy Sheet, a creative and interactive tool for outdoor excursions with children, which promises to be both entertaining and educational.

Embracing a nature-friendly lifestyle is not just a passing trend; it is a collective responsibility to preserve the beauty and diversity of our planet. As individuals, we have the power to effect change through small yet meaningful actions.
By making conscious choices, supporting sustainable practices, and advocating for nature, we can make a positive impact on the world around us.
Let us strive to leave a legacy of love and respect for nature, ensuring that future generations inherit a healthier, more vibrant Earth.
