Nature contact can happen through gardens, riversides, tree-lined streets, balcony gardens or even caring for plants at home.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone living in a dense city may watch birds from a balcony or walk beside a canal instead of visiting a large park.

[EXTEND]Extend

Parks are valuable, but everyday nature matters because regular small contact can be easier to maintain than occasional trips to major green spaces.
