Nearby nature

With no access to the coast at the moment, I've been trying to find other ways to stay connected to nature. Daily walks in local greenspaces are the highlight of my day - now full of the scents of spring blossom, uplifting birdsong and the fluffy wiggles of ducklings. At home, I nurture veg seedlings on my balcony and follow the antics of our local squirrels who get ever bolder in the quiet streets. I dive into films - like the stunning One Breath around the World, and Chasing the Sublime. Reading, writing, planning for future walks - it all helps. And I try to find small ways in which I can still contribute - such as campaigning and sharing views in the Surfers Against Sewage GenerationSea Blueprint Survey. Why not add your voice to the mix - the data they collect will really help guide their future work. https://www.sas.org.uk/news/the-generation-sea-blueprint-a-new-wave-of-ocean-activism/
