12 Nature Walk Activities for Any Day!

One simple way to observe Earth Day is to take learning outside and have children interact with their environment. Nature walks are a fun and easy way to bring your children outdoors. Doing a nature walk is an opportunity for learning experiences in a variety of subjects such as science, geography, math, and art. Each nature walk offers something different for students to explore – even if you walk the same trails from one day to the next. If you live in a colder climate, the changing seasons can be another great way to observe plants and animals as the weather shifts.
