Sight is a Faculty; Seeing is an Art!
– George Perkins Marsh¹

The environment and climate change has been, and still is, front page news for decades; it is real, although powerful people deny it. Researchers claim that we alienate ourselves from nature in the way we work and treat it, abusing natural resources for profit. A researcher in environmental philosophy and anthropology, David W. Kidner demonstrates in his writings that contemporary practices, such as industrialized monoculture, and other ways to exploit what nature offers to the service of modern life, contributes to the alienation of nature, a separation between humans and the natural world ². Yet, walking in a forest or a park often seems to reconnect us with nature. There, we tend to slow our pace, the stress level goes down, a certain peace of mind and serenity invade us, even if only for a short moment. Interconnectedness between the natural world and the human spirit has been the subject of multiple studies demonstrating the positive impact an excursion in nature has on our mental health.
