🍄 “Nature is all around us, from a tiny sidewalk crack to a gorgeous mountain pass to the vast ocean to even our own backyard or balcony. Spending time outdoors is an essential to life. It can reduce stress, boost concentration, inspire hope and create community. It is also the best way to inspire a child’s learning and growth.” – Dr. Jean Lomino, President of Forest School Teacher Institute
