How Can You Responsibly Enjoy Nature During The Pandemic?

The outdoors is calling, but COVID-19 is still out there. The question is: Do we go out and experience nature cautiously or do we choose to stay home and bring nature in? ๐Ÿค” ๐ŸŒด

In these uncertain times, please make sure to regularly check with the authorities regarding the latest updates and possible requirements when going outside. Make sure to follow the implemented health and safety guidelines. Stay safe!


WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC PLACES, YOU'RE BETTER OFF OUTSIDE

There are still ways you can get outside your home and really try to reduce your risk of becoming infected with this virus. Your best option is to choose somewhere close to home, for example, walking or biking around your own neighborhood, or accessing a local park.

 

GET SOME FRESH AIR AND VITAMIN D

For many people, getting out in nature is like therapy. You donโ€™t have to leave your home to enjoy nature! Maybe you have a backyard or balcony that gets some sunshine. Get creative, get busy, and immerse yourself outsideโ€” even just for a few hours a day.

 

STAY ACTIVE AND SAFELY CONNECT

Reconnecting with nature and taking a walk in a more secluded setting can give your mood a boost and help improve your physical and mental health. Stroll around the neighborhood with your furry pets and get a change of scenery.

 

CARRY AROUND PRODUCTS THAT CLEANS AND DISINFECTS AT THE SAME TIME

On top of wearing a face covering, you can safely enjoy spending time outdoors by carrying your own essential safety kit. Pack disinfectant cleaners, hand sanitizer, alcohol, and toilet paper whenever you go outside.

 

PACK OUT ALL YOUR TRASH โ€” LEAVE NO TRACE

We should never forget that we are not only responsible for our health, but we also have a responsibility to our neighbors and our environment. Don't forget to clean up and not leave any waste behind when you visit the outdoors.
