Nature In My Backyard: Kids

For Parents

Exploring can begin in your own backyard and it doesn’t have to be structured. A great way to help your family get started is to view nature as a place in which to play.Here’s a great resource to give you some starting points.

Don’t be hesitant to get kids outside, even if the weather is not perfect (it seldom is!).
This resource can give you some great encouragement!
