Discovering Nature
In Episode 11 of The Seed Pod. Carrie shares stories about photography, art & eco-therapy, her love of mountains and bumblebees, experiencing the sea for the first time, and so much more!
We are going to dive deeper into one of Carrie’s stories in this Learning Pod using a Play - Observe - Discover - Share structure.
Observe
In the audio above, Carrie shared her story of experiencing the sea and falling in love with it. This is a place she hadn’t been able to explore much in her younger years.
Now, it is your time to discover something new in your local nature.
Sometimes the smallest things hold the biggest stories. As you explore, let your curiosity lead the way.
There are no right or wrong finds, just tiny discoveries waiting to be noticed.
Draw your findings in the boxes, and write any questions or notes you have at the bottom to explore later.

“Growing up on the shores of the Hauraki Gulf, the ocean (and advocating for its protection) has always been a huge part of who I am.”
