Walking os good for your physical and mental health and if lots of people walk in a town or city then that place feels safer and more people start to feel comfortable walking. Walking also reduces the number of cars on the roads, thus reducing the amount of pollution and reducing the carbon footprint of travelling.
There are plenty of feats you can take part in to really feel part of the campaign and lots of resources to help you spread the word.
Meanwhile the Tree Council is running Walk in the Woods to encourage more people to enjoy walking in their local woodland, which is just what I was doing this morning! The photo above shows part of Colinton Dell, along the Water of Leith. The few flowered leek is in full bloom at the moment, you can have a closer look at this invasive, non-native but striking looking plant below:

Walking is so good for your mental health yes! It relaxes you and helps you unwind.
I do some of my best thinking when I'm out walking!
The wood sorrel I am familiar with Juliet but have never heard of the leek - is it a mainly scottish thing?
Optimistic - absolutely!
Ms Sparrow - so do I!
Weaver, I'm not sure about the distribution of few flowered leek, though I don't remember ever having seen it in England....
I walk every morning from 7:05 to 7:35. I listen to the birds, talk to the bunnies I pass and wave hello to every neighbor. I soak in the sunlight, and plan my day. I am grateful for the world I live in.

Not really a haiku, but my thoughts often assume this shape
What a beautiful place to walk. I also feel better when I walk in a natural setting.
