REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place?
Mike Simmons 10/06/2019 8:10 PMI think time spent exploring your area can make the area feel more connected to itself and to you. Feeling a connection to an area brings comfort, freedom and a sense of duty to protect that place you have grown fond of. -
