How to Get Involved in Rethinking Our Place in Nature

 

1. Adopt a Place: 

Choose a trail, shoreline, or woodlot. Care for it. Learn it. Advocate for it. Let it shape your decisions.  

 

2. Shift One Decision That Matters: 

Organizations: embed nature into a real decision—procurement, land use, policy, or planning. 

Individuals: change one habit that reduces harm or restores balance.  

 

3. Host Nature Conversations: 

Bring people together - a friendship ground, a neighbourhood, a community, a speciality group - and ask: What would it look like if nature truly mattered here?  

 

4. Make the Invisible Visible:

Track and share your impact—species protected, land improved, and behaviours changed. Tell real stories.  

 

5. Stand for Something: 

Use your voice. Support policy, challenge harmful practices, and normalize stewardship as leadership.
