DESCRIPTION: Reconnect with the natural world through this engaging and hands-on program designed specifically for seniors. This course not only deepens your knowledge of environmental conservation, nature connection, and sustainable practices but also promotes physical activity, enhances mental well-being, and fosters social connections in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Through a blend of interactive nature studies and discussions, guided nature walks, and practical, hands-on learning in the field, you’ll have the chance to share experiences, learn new skills, explore beautiful landscapes, and give back to the environment. Along the way, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of ecology, biodiversity, and conservation while forming meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. This program is as much about personal well-being as it is about caring for the planet.
