| Deleted: | Added: <p><em>Maracena, as almost the whole Spain, is quite a dry area which makes </em><em>our efforts to upkeep local flora that much more important to us.</em></p><h4>Reforestation excursions</h4><p>This excursion not only educate young people and children about the importance of reforestation but also allows them to make a tangible and positive contribution to the environment.</p><p>The primary goal is to engage young people in reforestation activities to promote environmental awareness, teamwork, and respect for nature.</p><p>In addition to planting a tree and caring about the environment, the community that grows with people’s awareness creates an environment that supports new generations to easily join and develop their own sense of responsibility about nature. It brings local communities together and tightens their bonds that have formed since they were just kids.</p><h4>Forest bathing</h4><p>As one of the activities organised in Maracena forest bathing is one aimed at connection with nature and yourself. It is used as a way to engage the youth with environment during workshops, projects and other events. It’s roots come from Japanese practice of inmersing oneself with nature. It has multiple benefits like: reducing stress, improoving mood, boosting immune system, improoving physical health and feeling more conected to nature.</p> |
