Nature Contact or Nature Connection?

Most of us spend time in nature, but how often do we truly connect with it?

Nature contact is simply being outdoors. Nature connection happens when we slow down, engage our senses, and give ourselves permission to notice the details around us.

The next time you’re on a walk, pause for a minute. Listen to the wind, watch the clouds move, notice the colours and textures around you. You may be surprised how different the experience feels.

Trail Nugget: You don’t need more time in nature. Sometimes you simply need to pay more attention to the time you’re already spending there.

BOOTS Wellbeing Walks are designed to help participants move beyond simply being outdoors and develop a deeper connection with themselves, others and the natural world.
