100 Days to go!

Wow, it looks like we have only 100 days to the GSB2021 our second big event in this amazing project!
So how is it looking?
So far we have 15 countries registered with projects already on the umbrella project. Organisers from Argentina have been very busy and have indicated they will also rejoin shortly. This growth in countries is amazing with Uruguay, New Zealand, and Eswatini joining the GSB. We have also had interest from Malawi.
Having new countries join our projects is executing, however, we also have had some fantastic growth in projects in many of our countries from last year. This means that many more people will have an opportunity to connect with nature through our project.

What challenge will you set yourself this spring?

what do you hope to observe?

let up know below or on our facebook page.

Thie year we also have a forum on our website so introduce yourself, or ask the organisers questions.
