Nature,our teacher

Nature, our teacher 
Issue 346 • September/October 2024

In this issue of Resurgence & Ecologist, we explore the myriad ways we are learning from Nature, and how much we still have to discover.

Stephanie Boxall asks whether the built environment can ever be seen as part of Nature, in her brilliant Connected Life article ‘Building a relationship with Nature’. Opening our theme, leadership development facilitator Nicki Davey shares how Nature and its teachings have become firmly and permanently embedded in her offerings to clients.

Satish Kumar emphasises the power of positivity and why it’s important to stay optimistic with our content throughout the magazine and in the wider work of The Resurgence Trust. In our Arts & Culture section, Louis Barnard interviews Britart superstar Marc Quinn, who challenges us to see Nature as an ally, not an adversary, and whose plant-inspired sculptures are on show in his new Light into Life exhibition at Kew Gardens.
