As we spend time in our own yards and neighborhoods while observing the social distancing practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we hope you will find these resources useful tools to help you connect with nature.

Getting outside is an important part of maintaining good mental and physical health, especially in stressful and uncertain times. Click the links below for activities to help you connect with nature in your backyard, neighborhood, or even from a balcony or window. Check back often as we continue to add activities and resources!
