An essential service for our wellbeing
It’s a beautiful — early spring afternoon and I’m out for a walk in an unfamiliar area of a forest that I thought I knew reasonably well.
So great to be outside getting exercise and being immersed in nature. There’s no substitute that I know of. We need this!
I’m noticing just how many people are out right now and I believe it’s only the beginning.
Here in Ontario, Canada we’ve been in isolation now for over a month and people are getting antsy, just like anywhere else I’m sure.
I wonder what will happen when the temperatures get up to and over 20°C.
My concern is that these few areas, where it’s still legal to go out, will become overrun and that it will cause problems.
My prediction is that many people will just start going out in the closed-up areas. I’ve already seen it and have been tempted myself.
I think it’s time to consider how we’re going to open the parks and natural areas that have been closed for weeks.
