Quote by Gary Snyder, from The Practice of the Wild.
“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
This line fits Voluntouring’s core idea: travel is not only about seeing places, but about learning to belong with care. When you volunteer, you become part of a landscape and a community, even if it is only for a short time. That changes how you walk, how you use resources, and how you speak about the place when you leave.
If you want a reliable reference for the quote, this New Yorker piece includes it and points to Snyder’s book: The Nature Book.
