Finding Nature in the City...

By Rachel Locken

   If you live in the city sometimes it’s not an easy task to find and enjoy nature like those who live in rural areas. Since you can’t just step outside your door and watch the birds eating at the feeder or enjoy the wind blowing through the forest, here are some quick tips to help you find nature:

• Visit a park or a zoo. Make it a habit to go someplace like this once a week.


• Notice the animals around you. Remember that even bugs are animals and can be fascinating if you spend time studying them.


• Take a trip out of the city now and then. Visit the beach, a national park, a waterfall or anything that interests you.

Have fun finding and exploring nature!
