Forging a closer link to nature

Campaign The national park is calling on people to nominate 'Nature Heroes'

- KAIYA MARJORIBANKS

Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority has launched an inspiring new campaign aimed at encouraging people to form deeper, more personal connections with nature.

Launched at a time when the effects of the global nature and climate crises are being felt even within the National Park, Nature Connection comes at a pivotal moment.

The campaign acknowledges that while many people understand the importance of nature, they often feel overwhelmed and disconnected by the scale of the problem, and from what they can do to help.

Nature Connections provides a hopeful and accessible path forward - showing that by adopting respectful behaviour and spending meaningful moments in nature, we not only boost our wellbeing, but also contribute to its restoration and protect it for future generations.

The campaign is centred around the new Nature Hub - a free online resource on the National Park Authority website which is packed with practical guides, local events, volunteering opportunities and inspirational stories.
