Whether in a natural or urban park, hiking along a trail in the Santa Monica Mountains or on walking in your neighborhood, the habitat and environment that surrounds us can be inspirational, healing, communicative, beautiful, and nourishing. In this section, CNC provides resources that seek to communicate a variety of perspectives that highlight the importance of being outside; make visible nature services; show the interconnectedness of the flora, fauna, and habitat; and elevate the mental and physical health benefits of having access to public spaces, time to commune in these spaces, and to share your experience.

 

How we experience, commune, and understand nature guides our caring for it.
