Dates celebrating nature, wildlife and the natural cycles
We have compiled a list of nationally and internationally recognised dates celebrating the natural world, as well as those marking the change of season such as the equinoxes and solstices. We can use these times to deepen our connection to nature and to think of ways to protect and preserve the planet and all the other beings we share her with.
