Where’s your Green Space, UWinnipeg?
During Thrive Week 2018, the CSO asked faculty, students and staff to show us where they like to go when then want to experience nature. People put pins in a large map to mark their favorite, parks, trails and river bank spots, and then tell us why they appreciate these places. The link between the natural world and our mental health is very important. When we spend time in nature, we are reminded that we are connected to, and dependent on, healthy ecosystems and clean air, putting the material world in perspective and reminding us why sustainability matters. This interactive map shows some of the outdoor places that matter UWinnipeg’s campus community.
We'll be running this activity again soon, so keep your eyes open for a chance to show us your green space!
