Letter from NNR’s Chairperson
Love and Protect Nature I am writing this on Valentine's Day when we are reminded of love. What a difference love makes. Think about your life and how full it feels when underpinned by love, and think of all those who have not known it. I think we can all agree that we, in this bubble, are blessed beyond our wildest dreams, yet sometimes, appearances can be deceptive —loneliness, despair & depression can lurk where we wouldn't expect it. My Valentine message is: "Be Kind". Let's remember that love changes everything. A great segue into a new theme for the NNR - our Natural World! Let's focus some of that love into caring & protecting it. Sadly, this is not 'a nice to do', but it is now a necessity. Look to our new dedicated page for upcoming events, projects, and tips for change in which each one of us can engage! Sally Elliott, NNR Chairperson
