Urban Wilderness School: Supporting ecological connection, respect, and behaviors

Exploring ways to blur the division between interior and exterior spaces, promoting a sense of curiosity towards the natural world. This project aims to encourage a connection to nature to support our physical, mental and emotional health, while also improving ecological respect and behaviors. Developing a connection to our environment

leads to more empathetic experiences towards other people which in turn leads to a desire to preserve the environment so we can continue to support these vital connections.
