How to bring nature into our homes

"No list of nature activities and community actions can be complete, but here are a few suggestions that may stimulate your own creativity. The most important goal is for our children, in their everyday lives, to experience joy and wonder, sometimes in solitude - for them to create their own nature experiences and, as they grow up, to expand the boundaries of their exploration."

Richard Louv, author of the bestselling book 'Last Child in the Woods'
