Nature Connection Design Ideas

Do you ever come across something so unexpected when researching?

I recently did.

While researching organizations or individuals that seem a potential fit for collaboration, I came across a post on “nature connectedness”; the connection humans have, or do not, with nature.

I am going to defer my blog post this month to that of a researcher, Prof. Miles Richardson, founder of the Nature Connectedness Research Group at the University of Derby in the U.K. His most recent post is a walk through his mind as he forms ideas on ways to attract an interest in nature from the general human population. In his own words, “This blog simply shares some of my ideas, some very recent, some may be impractical and others perhaps plain daft! But sharing and discussing ideas is often the catalyst for others, so here goes…

From landscape design to a an Augmented Reality window to a nature magazine with a novel spin, Prof. Richardson is rethinking ways to solve the problem of nature deficiency. His thought process reminds me of the phrase, “meet them where they are”.

Give it a go. Read his quick article on Nature Connection Design Ideas. Impractical, or even daft… I don’t think so. Unexpected… most definitely!

As he said, “sharing and discussing ideas is often the catalyst for others”.
