Nature and Children

By chickadee1220

“If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.”

~Rachel Carson (American marine biologist and conservationist whose book, Silent Spring, and other writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement.)

Putting up a bird feeder with your children is an excellent way to nurture a love of nature within them — especially at this time of year!

About chickadee1220

My name is Mara. I am Minnesota born and raised. Four seasons, forests, farms, and 10,000 lakes have given me a deep appreciation for nature. Photography helps me to share this love with others. And, once in awhile, I find myself interested in sociology. Go figure.

    Thanks! I especially like the Common Redpolls – birds with a red spot on their heads. They are only in Minnesota during the winter, so I try to enjoy them while they are here. 🙂
