bb i may be tough to find one but i would be enjoyable for me and my youngest boy just to get out and walk
look at thing show him stuff
i agree 100%. Teach him to identify various trees based solely on their bark and crown structure. show him what species deer prefer and which ones they avoid until they are needed as a last resort. show him the difference in growth at the edge of a woodlot versus the growth under a mature canopy. point out the heavily used rails now may not be the same trails they use in the fall.
There is a lot to learned every time we set foot in the woods with an open mind.
Now that is something I can surely agree with.
I tell people al the time that I could spend my entire life on one small tract of ground and every day see something new that I had never seen before that was just absolutely fascinating.
A wise old Indian told me when I was but a child that everything I would ever need to know about life or of deathI couldlearn by watching the works of nature. The older I get the more I see not only the wisdom, but the truth of those words.
