Nature study is a gift we give our children.
It's the gift of observation.
The gift of loving the unloved and seeing the unseen.
The gift of knowing the unknown.

When we spend time outdoors regularly our bodies thrive, our senses are no longer dulled, and we commune with creation in a way we simply cannot otherwise. Nature study positively impacts overall well being, while also sharpening skills necessary for the sciences and math.
