“You Belong Here” – New Music Video
“You Belong Here” is a song to sink into the peace and calm that nature offers us. It is also a song to shine a light on how we need to work together to ensure everyone feels a sense of belonging in the outdoors.
There are two posts written about the creation of this song and the accompanying music video, which was made in collaboration with Child and Nature Alliance of Canada and Black in Nature. Find those posts HERE and HERE.
