Summary

Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you can't enjoy nature. This compact guide offers 52 outdoor explorations, adventures, observations, and games that help families connect to nature while living in the city. While many people think of nature as only a wilderness far away from the hustle and bustle of traffic, nature is also as nearby as a crack in the sidewalk and a tree on a street. Become an urban birder, make your own man vs. wild observations, and discover the not-so-hidden pockets of nature in your neighbourhood. Explore what's teeming outside your doors--upon doing so, you and your children will discover the road to nature isn't paved at all.
