Family Nature Explorers

Have you ever stood with your child under a majestic tree and admired its beauty? Have you and your child shared the fun of hunting for leaf shapes or going on a nature treasure hunt? Research shows that experiences like these help children build lasting connections to the natural world and to the adults with whom they share these adventures. Come join the fun of outdoor adventures with the Nature Explorers! The goal of the Nature Explorers is to inspire children and their families to connect with the natural world and spend quality time together outdoors. Why? Research shows that children benefit greatly from connecting with nature.
