I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will take a 060-minute walk outside each day.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 90 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).
