REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Explore My AreaHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place?
Dan Swerbilov 10/22/2018 3:40 PMSpending time in the natural areas near you allows you to see trees in all of the seasons. You begin to be familiar with the fallen leaves, which can help identify the trees. You might get visits from birds travelling through. You appreciate the work of the pollinators in your garden. You enjoy the shade of a big tree on a hot day. -
