the project

Walking through nature while sensing the atmosphere around – smelling the air, listening to sounds, and feeling the touches of the rocks, leaves, trees, mud, or anything, is an awesome learning experience. Parents doing this with their children is an even more awesome bonding opportunity.

Getting into question-and-answer sessions during nature walks keeps kids intrigued. Adding a scavenger hunt will make this time with family the official "BEST DAY EVER"!

why we're doing it

I am the father of five sons.  I am very involved in the development of my children and their education.  With crime rates increasing, the aftershock of the pandemic, and the stress anxiety, and mental anguish of trying to cope with it all, life is very hectic. It's often hard to find family activities that fit all ages so I decided to bring this event to my community.  Kids love being outdoors, especially when they have the opportunity to do something fun, different, and exciting with their families. This walk gives parents a chance to truly see their kid's amazement and intelligence at work.  Time outdoors gives us a breath of fresh air and a moment to recharge.

Parents will also learn that nature has the power to embrace you, calm you down, make you happy, and boost your energy. It works wonders with kids by helping them further enhance their motor skills and critical thinking abilities. Nature walks cultivate curiosity and observation skills in kids to another level. This is also a great way to bond with others. 

My goal is to help the community appreciate and respect the nature around them, in hopes it will encourage more love and respect in our society as a whole.
