Rather than shopping at a big box store this Christmas, the Nature Conservancy of Canada is asking residents to consider giving back to nature.
National Media Relations Director Andrew Holland, says people should consider the natural environment this season, especially since many people have been using the pandemic to experience more nature at home.
“Nature is really important to us and its been a real haven for many people during this pandemic,” said Holland. “Getting out on the trails to clear our heads and go for a walk has been really important for our physical and mental wellbeing.”
“Its been a very challenging, topsy-turvy, eight plus months for us,” said Holland. “Since nature has been there for us, it’s important to give back to nature.”
