Why we host nature connection events
“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
- Mary Synder
Wellbeing and sustainability are deeply interconnected.
They reinforce each other positively.
Wellbeing is the foundation from which everything else is built upon - including sustainability action.
We know that mental health is a huge issue in Australia and on the North and Mid North Coast.
