Ascough also stressed how important it is finding the right balance between entertainment and education for these events.

SA国际影视传媒淵ou want people to be educated and to understand whatSA国际影视传媒檚 happening and at the same time, you want to give people spaces where they can be in nature and celebrate the planet and celebrate their relationships to the land and to one another,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

No matter the day, time or weather, for Ascough and the rest of team at Ecology North, every day is a day to celebrate Earth.

SA国际影视传媒淓ven if people canSA国际影视传媒檛 make it to any of our events, itSA国际影视传媒檚 still important they celebrate the earth in their own way,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e encouraging people to enjoy the fresh air, see their families, get outside.SA国际影视传媒�
