Families that bike together grow together.
Wonderful to watch these little ones progress from tricycles to training wheels to two-wheelers over their lifetimes.
And even better that we now have eager biking buddies.
Gorgeous cycle to #AmblesideBeach today.

One of my favourite ways to bring nature home each winter is to make homemade wreaths for our family + neighbours, with evergreen boughs, cones and berries foraged from our local Christmas tree lot + front yard.
Just in time for #WinterSolstice this year.

The great outdoors can hold even the greatest grief.
You Rose FriendsofFishCreek volunteers & @LoriFitfrog have shown us how to be #grief #park companions, noticing the seasons/changes, challenging ourselves to put one foot in front of the other👣

#FirstDayHike holds a special place in my 💚. Entering this contest with Healthy By Nature 3 years ago inspired me to get involved in planetary health education & awareness. Truly spending time in nature motivates us to protect it. Can’t wait to see all of the photos this year!

It's #WorldHealthDay ! 🌎️⁠
⁠
Getting #OutsideandUnplugged in nature is one of the best things we can do for our health ❤️‍🩹⁠

Side effects of green time may include living longer, increased energy and a better mood 😁

#Greenspaces can improve air quality, provide shade and cooling, reduce noise, improve social cohesion, reduce stress levels, encourage physical activity and reduce risk for chronic diseases. How can you make the most of your local green space? #HealthybyNature

Love it when a hike comes with complimentary snack breaks.
