Hello All,
When my kids were much younger I enjoyed taking them to parks, state parks, and nature centers. I had the peaceful outdoor time I craved and they had vast areas to explore and run around. As a science teacher, I have found state parks and nature centers to be a wonderful resource for pamphlets, guides, workshops and a valuable connection to other government resources. Recently, I was able to score some guides on common forest trees in our state and pamphlets referencing invasive species in our area. There were a few books available for review and purchase showcasing regional wildlife. If your school is strapped for providing resources, it may be time to look for some low cost and no cost alternatives and training other places. Great local places to check are nature centers, state park offices, museums, departments of natural resources/environmental protection/agriculture, and university extension programs.
Cheers to appreciating nature locally,
Mrs. A
