Three best bits of advice for using TikTok to better engage a youth audience? Firstly, bringing the conversation to young people on the platform and never talking at them. The focus for the channel has been on building a community and conversation. Secondly, being authentic and organic on TikTok and using its tools to edit and develop content so that it works on there rather than being repurposed from other channels. Third, staying consistent with posting content, even when some don’t get big reach, consistency is key.

Here's a link to the University of Exeter research mentioned about connecting digital nature to real life connection with nature.
