This week I am working with the organization Nature Rocks (Facebook, Twitter) to provide tips about getting children outside and into nature. My voice will be coming through on their Facebook and Twitter pages, and I look forward to conversing with other parents about children and nature.

I will be posting over the next week longer pieces about Learning in Nature that will match the tips given on Facebook and Twitter. If you use those sites, please join in on the conversation!

November 3rd – Ways to extend outdoor experiences beyond outside
November 4th – Nature in your neighborhood

After checking out my posts this week, please take some time to look over the Nature Rocks website. They have lots of great ideas for getting out into nature with your kids, and a tool to search for activities in your area. I am proud to work with such an organization that shares my values concerning children and nature.
