A very warm welcome to the readers and our fellow nature enthusiasts. I'm elated to celebrate TNC's 3rd anniversary with all of you. Albeit, technically, it's the first time we're "celebrating" because we had gone on a 2 year long hiatus due to reopening of schools and work after lockdown and various other internal issues, reopened again in May 2024, shut down completely in July 2024, but here we are reviving ourselves and bringing back life to this community again; let's not hang in the past anymore. Life's all about challenges and how we face them. It's my greatest pleasure that a community which I had planned right after my mid-term exams had ended, just for fun, will be turning 3 this year. I was in my freshie year of high school then and I'll be graduating in a couple of months. Time sure does fly like a spaceship flying towards the sun. I feel like a proud mother watching her child achieve great accomplishments in their life with admiration. It still feels like yesterday when the first form was filled in and I couldn't control my excitement at all. Later this year, when I had given up on this community, it was my secretaries who planned on revamping and starting anew. If it hadn't for them, TNC wouldn't have been reborn, Dianthus wouldn't have had existed. I'm so very grateful to them and to everyone who has ever been a part of our family at some point, because without y'all, we wouldn't be what we are today. All your efforts and dedication has never gone in vain and never will, that's guaranteed. That being said, we hope you'll enjoy the anniversary special events as outlined in the Timeline, which we have lined up for y'all to enjoy. Remember to check out the rules and grab your seats by filling in the forms in the following chapters.

Hey there, Nature Lovers! I'm absolutely thrilled to have all of you here to celebrate TNC's 3rd anniversary. This community has been my go-to place and my second home since I first joined as a newbie. I started as a peacemaker when TNC was just beginning in October 2021, and now we're marking three wonderful years. I've grown from being a nervous peacemaker to serving as the community's secretary, experiencing plenty of life changes and challenges along the way. Change is the only constant in life, and this community has certainly had its fair share of struggles. But we've bounced back stronger than ever, all thanks to our amazing founder, my fellow secretary, and our incredible members who have joined forces to get us to where we are today.

Hello to my fellow readers. Thanks for taking part in the celebration with us. I am pretty much excited to see how this turns out. Although I haven't been with TNC for a long time being a member since 2023, it's so heartwarming to see the community having its 3rd anniversary. At first, I didn't have an objective in the community but soon I took a liking to the community and wanted to start our reviving mission with our founder and my fellow secretary. After two long years of hiatus, it sure wasn't going well and we shut down. We are trying to cheer each other up and not lose hope about reviving the community. No matter how small we are right now, we do value our members and I hope we will thrive again. Again, a big thanks to our founder, my fellow secretary and our members for joining us on this amazing adventure through nature.
