Nature
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

Explore My Area
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
Nature
Support Local Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

Plant an Herb Garden
I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
