@savetheredwoods   Adding to the “Earth Day is every day” chorus 😁 While we all work together to protect lands and waters, we also draw inspiration from the beauty of it all. Today is a great moment to practice presence and connect with nature in whatever way feels good to you. Nature journaling is one way you can do that, and there are so many ways you can adapt the practice.
