Did you know that forests cover 31 percent of the global land area, the tallest tree in the world is called Hyperion or that spending time in a forest is good for our physical and mental wellbeing as it boosts our immune system, lowers blood pressure and promotes relaxation?

What was your favourite experience in a forest? Maybe you have seen an elk bathing in a lake in the middle of a forest, gone forest bathing during a summer day, heard a woodpecker or built a hut out of branches?

The theme of the 2021’s International Day of Forests is ‘Forest restoration: A path to recovery and well-being’ Please read more about it here: https://www.un.org/en/observances/forests-and-trees-day

We will be posting some images of our favourite forests on our Instagram account through the day so if you haven’t found us already please take a look and follow us there!

Poetry can inspire, encourage, educate and it can also change the perspective of how we see the world. However, as we become more digital, we are to some extent losing touch with the art of poetry. Therefore, we would like to acknowledge the World Poetry Day. One of the most famous poems is begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”, which is the first sentence in William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18”.

Which is your favourite poem? Which poem can you recite word for word? Maybe you are good at writing a haiku? Let us know in the comments below.
