Taking children into the forest, explaining to them that trees are alive, communicate with other trees, sleep at night, and produce the oxygen we breathe, awakens an understanding that is important for the environment. Only what is understood will be treated with respect.❤️💙💚🍀

We need greener cities with parks and more trees in backyards and nearby forests. "Studies suggest that accessible natural regions are a serious resource for improving mental health in our rapidly urbanizing world," writes Hiroko Ochiai of the NHO of Japan.💚🌱☘️🌿🌳🌲🍀💚

With all the windy and rainy weather, loads of litter had blown into the Angel Gardens so Jojo answered the call to help clear it up this morning - it looks a lot better (until the next time!) Add a bit of Christmas music & good company & it was definitely a morning well spent 💚

Reminder: Forests are the natural hospitals for body and soul. You go in, no one asks you, no one gives you appointments for examinations, etc. You get what you need, and you feel better, and you are also delighted by the splendor and beauty. We need more forests worldwide.💚🌳🌲

An early Christmas present for me this morning and it's EXACTLY what I wanted - five perfect minutes with a kestrel 🥰 Liberton #Edinburgh
