Last July, I kicked off a series here on the blog called “Favorite Places to Explore Nature.” The idea was simple: invite my fellow travel and nature bloggers to share favorite places to explore nature with kids in their hometowns.
The result is some 17 posts featuring locations throughout the United States – and even one from across the pond!
I’m thrilled to have had all of your help creating such a fantastic resource. Sorry it took me so long to gather up all the posts and put them together in one spot. Enjoy!
