"There is increasing concern that people are less connected with the natural world than in the past. Plants are of particular concern, as there is evidence of lower appreciation, knowledge and concern for plants compared with animals. Various writers have noted the negative implications of these trends for human health and well-being, environmental action, and conservation." A great article from The Conversation with an important message about getting our kids to experience nature (and trees!). Photo by Annie Spratt / Unsplash |
