As the illustration relays, it matters not what the size of the Natural spaces one is traversing, the symbolic and enjoyment of Nature remains vibrant and intrinsically powerful whether one is watering the plants on the back porch or hiking in a State Park.

Our gratitude of Nature remains steadfast - and scales.

Nature symbols are connective tissues for our gratitude of Nature.

The symbols for Nature have meanings that are congruent and overlap. The following symbols are offered for each type of experience in Nature:

House Plants –
