Congratulations and job well done to all of those who participated in the first 30×30 Nature Challenge with Ontario Parks!
More than 600 people embarked on the 30×30 challenge this August. We loved tuning in to social media to see how #30x30Challenge-ers spent their 30 minutes every day!
The 30×30 concept was created by the David Suzuki Foundation in an effort to inspire individuals to cultivate a nature habit. Participants pledged to spend a minimum of 30 minutes in nature every day for the month of August.
Missed the #30x30Challenge? There’s no time like the present to start a nature habit!
Our August challengers have some great suggestions for how you can get outside!
