"The beauty of biophilia is that, beyond making us feel drawn to natural settings, it also offers big benefits for people who heed this instinct. Studies have linked biophilic experiences with lower cortisol levels, blood pressure, and pulse rate..." https://t.co/pKrO3GrLAA

Moss is something we often see, but how much do we really know about it? Here are a few fun facts for you:

- Moss is one of the oldest plants on earth
- Moss doesn't have any roots
- In World War 1 the army used moss as bandages as it has antiseptic properties

Day 212. Animal snowprints. Anyone else woken up to snow this morn? See what paw/footprints you can find and throw in a couple of your own! See if you’re lucky enough to see rabbit, hare, badger, fox or deer prints. Look here for how to identify them - https://t.co/jDTndTk3fy
