Walking for Wellbeing
Do you walk for health and happiness? Walking has, across history, been accepted to have physical and mental health benefits. Aotearoa New Zealand (A-NZ) is renowned for its numerous walks which pass through spectacular scenery and diverse environments inducing awe and wonder. Over the last two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, people across A-NZ and the world have turned to walking to help cope with lockdowns and pandemic-associated challenges, to reduce feeling of anxiety and to embrace change. Our wellbeing is interconnected with that of the natural world and as such there is a need for a bridge to regenerative and conservation actions. What reciprocal action are you taking this Earth Day?
