Great round-up of recent nature-connectedness research...

@eliistender10 Yep.... the sun came out while I was working...(taken my home office camping for a bit)

I trying to educate myself about intersections of land, food and climate justice, with race, gender and class. I thought this is a good place to start especially the Jumping fences report landinournames.community if anyone has any other good resources please feel free to share.

Amazing that we're collectives too - researching Reconnection I found each person is a community of half human & half microbial cells & our being depends upon these organisms. We host billions of microbial organisms in a walking ecosystem - we're holobionts!

As it's #YorkshireDay, it'd be remiss of me (and unforgiveable in the eyes of my father) if I didn't mention my award-winning Yorkshire coast memoir, Cold Fish Soup, and point out that it's available to buy in all good book shops. linktr.ee/adamjfarrer

@di_a__n_a Of course.... and the kids agreed (although my eldest said as long as there are books).

@poornabell Family subscriptions..... to get my kids Spotify Kids.... which allows a number of adults to be on the same subscription too.... but there is only me as am adult in this house. Also most family tickets assume there is two adults, so rarely work out cheaper for me.

This is interesting...a study looking at other environments other than blue or green space...attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/b… .. just pondering...does it matter what environment someone finds connection?
