As I hope to take both a butterfly walk and nature walk this weekend with my kids (weather permitting), I thought I would post some articles along those same lines.
First up, “Another Thoreau Lesson” by Robert Lee Hotze over at the Wall Street Journal. Gotta love an article with Thoreau’s name in it.
Next, we have “In Urban Wilderness, Tracking Hoots in the Night” by Anne River at the New York Times. Owls is one of the animals on our list.
Finally, “To Feed the Birds, First Feed the Bugs” by Anne River (again) at the New York Times is another good article on the nature around us.
Finally, with those of you with kids, here are two shorter articles related to kids and nature. “A Shot Against Nature Deficit Disorder” over at the Daily Green is a book review on the Young Birder’s Guide by Peterson Field Guides and “How the Author of Last Child in the Woods Gets Kids Outside” by Tobin Hack over at Plenty Magazine.
Now lets get outside!
