Parks and green spaces can be vital homes for ecosystems that support a vast array of both flora and fauna. These spaces are places for kids to discover the natural world around them and for us all to go to listen to birdsong instead of traffic hum.

This week we're asking you to head out to your local park and see if you can discover some nature you haven't found before. Perhaps you'll see some new wildflowers blossoming, find some bugs going about their work, or look up to the skies and see birds flying between the trees.
