We have finally moved into March, which means a lot for many of our walkers. The weather is warmer, we can enjoy a longer day with more sunlight, and trees get their leaves back. Flowers start to bud, and my favourite the lambs are born. There is a big shift in people’s energy as we find a spring in our step.
We may need to stay local for a little longer and remain in our bubbles, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the little joys of spring.
Nature can be found everywhere. Whether you are enjoying a nature trail, beach or urban walk. Nature can be found in all around.
