Abstract
The purpose of this article is to share new thinking that emerged from community development action research conducted in 2025. Grounded in nature connection literature and a four-month action research process, the article examines the relationship between nature connection (NC) and community development (CD). It argues that nature connection, as a practice and philosophy, can open new pathways to sustain and shape community development practice, particularly at the implicate level.
