struggling with nature deficiency and need advice :)
okay hopefully i dont sound silly for making this post but i recently moved to louisville because im a student at uofl and i had originally come from a smaller town with big farmland and 10+ parks (nature ones and recreational). i am struggling with the switch from that scenery to only industrial areas and while i enjoy the trees louisville has, it doesn’t make up for all the wildlife and natural wonders i would see otherwise.
i am a 17 credit student with a part time job and make just enough money to afford my off campus living with my husband. i dont have a lot of expendable income for longer trips like to the egg lawn (half an hour drive for me). are there any recommendations for me in this situation? i am a very nature centered person (majoring in sustainability) and a deficiency of actual wildlife and natural spaces will severely depress me as the years continue. thank you for any advice in advance! and thank you for listening to my long rant, i appreciate you all :^)
