And what happens when young people — no matter their background or political stripe — are given the chance to connect with the nature that connects us all? In Our Nature explores these questions through the stories of changemakers using nature to bridge divides — and reveals how a more connected, resilient future might already be taking root.

What is Wassail (sounds like ‘wassle’)? In Old English, the word meant ‘be you healthy’; it came to be known as ho t mulled cider, traditionally drunk during wassailing, a medieval ritual intended to ensure a good cider apple harvest the following year. Businesses provide visitors with free cups of Wassail and then the visitors compare the various Wassail recipes and vote for their favorite. The business receiving the most votes is the Wassail Meister for the year and receives a hand-carved trophy to display in their business until the next WassailFest.
