Not every adventure has to be expensive or far away! Whether it's climbing a summit or growing an indoor garden, or learning about the birds in your neighborhood - there's no one specific way to enjoy the benefits of being outside. You do you! #RethinkOutside #LCW2021
Getting outside connects us to ourselves, to our communities, and to the bigger world around us. Building these connections to nature increases people’s quality of life, health, and social wellbeing, which are benefits everyone deserves. All of us have a shared responsibility to open the doors to all people, regardless of where they live or their backgrounds, and ensuring their experiences outdoors are positive and rewarding. The more people who connect in this way with nature, the more our communities are strengthened, and the more we all benefit. More Information visit #RethinkOutside:
Celebrate #LatinoConservationWeek2021 from your own backyard with your family by downloading and following along with our #LCW2021 Family Activity Kit. The Kit includes activity worksheets with instructions for different conservation and nature themed activities you can do with your loved ones in your own backyard, neighborhood or at a local park. From coloring pages to scavenger hunts and backyard games, this kit aims to #RethinkOutside by helping you connect to the natural world around you, without having to worry about the barriers that keep you from visiting faraway parks or places.
Not every adventure has to be expensive or far away! Whether it's climbing a summit and visiting a national park or enjoying a BBQ with the familia, growing an indoor garden, or learning about the birds in your neighborhood - there's no one specific way to enjoy the benefits of being outside! #RethinkOutside #LCW2021
