Why I chose this group: I believe having the chance to explore and engage with nature as a child is of huge importance. This project aims to encourage kids to get out in nature, something which is becoming increasingly rare in urban areas. Getting the chance to gain hands-on practical experience, while also bringing about positive change and increasing children’s appreciation of nature is an exciting prospect.

Why I chose this group: The Moston Brook project emphasized the impact of parks as the infrastructure on people, which provided me with a new perspective. This project is in a unique position, it is at the balance point of the interface between nature and people - Moston Brook as a green corridor with a nature reserve provides people with the opportunity to contact with nature, while Lower Memorial Park as a park allows people to explore Pure leisure and socializing. How to deal with the border section between humans and nature is a broad question in contemporary times. By participating in this project, I believe I can rethink the role of green spaces in cities and the connection between humans and nature.
