Maashrooms aims to (re)connect humans to nature by introducing them into the wonderous world of mushrooms.
These days, people increasingly spend time indoors and in digital worlds.
54% of people living in the Netherlands spend 1 hour or less outdoors per day (source).
As a result, nature experiences and ecological knowledge have decreased.
Being outdoors less results in a growing disconnection from nature, causing us to understand less and less the ecosystems that make life on earth possible (source).
Thereby, many of us miss out on a range of benefits of being outdoors.
Including: significantly decreased cortisol and lower heart rate, significantly lower risk of heart attack and stroke, significant increase of reporting good health, significantly lower all-cause mortality (source).
We believe things can change for the better!
In comes Maashrooms 🙂
We invite you to join us and explore the rich nature that South Limburg (NL) offers.
Besides organising mushroom walks, we organise various mushroom related workshops, both for our community as well as workshops on request.
