Nature Works Walk
Based upon some of the content from Jonathan award winning book, One World, the Nature Works Walk is a 2 hour walk that focuses upon the inner workings of the natural world. During this walk, we will explore on how nature works through One World concepts such as biodiversity, ecosystem services, planetary boundaries, the value of nature, animal intelligence, biomimicry, and the human relationship with the environment and so much more.
Biomimicry Walk
The miracle of nature is that whenever there has been a challenge, there is an organism that has found a way to conquer it. Since humans live under the same laws of nature and under the same conditions, it makes sense that we learn from the inner workings of the natural world to live a happier, healthier and more meaningful life.
