Technology can be a double-edged sword. It can distract and separate us, but when used wisely, it can also enhance our connection with nature. Here are three apps that can deepen your engagement with the world around you but please use mindfully:

Merlin Bird ID

we often hear birdsong without knowing the singer. Merlin Bird ID opens up a whole soundscape, encouraging us to pay closer attention to the nature around us.

LeafSnap

an excellent app for identifying the beautiful flowers, trees, and plants around us, helping to deepen our connection with the natural world.

StarWalk 2

a great app that encourages us to look up at the heavens, see the patterns in the stars, and track the planets. It’s a wonderful tool for connecting with the cosmos.

By engaging with these tools and practices, you’ll find yourself more deeply connected to the Earth and its wonders.
