At a time when the world is confronted with growing environmental threats, better understanding of the critical connection between people and nature is key to stimulating positive action. When guiding visitors in nature, there are often opportunities to connect nature experiences to issues about environmental sustainability. During this webinar, the results of a survey will be presented, examining how nature guides in Sweden try to encourage participants to become more environmentally friendly through interpretation.
