Spring has sprung! Around us, we already can see and hear nature announcing the new season. And with Conservation Week starting, it is a good moment to enjoy nature and all the wellbeing that it can bring to us.
Conservation Week in New Zealand kicked off last Saturday, and for this year, the Department of Conservation is encouraging people to take a moment to reconnect with nature. The events will comply with all government requirements due to COVID-19, however, for people in Alert Level 3 or 4, or even for people overseas who want to participate, there are some virtual activities, such as a Digital Treasure Hunt Competition.
Even if you are just walking around your neighborhood, try to find green spaces. They can help the environment in many aspects, but also help us with our mental health, as many studies around the world have pointed out.
Then, Arohia te taiao!
