This is perfect to teach your children the importance of trees creating oxygen for humans and wildlife. Hundreds of trees are torn down each year to plant homes, shopping centers, gas stations, etc. Planting a tree at your home, creates an everlasting positive memory for you and your family.
#2 Nature walk

Picking up trash doesn’t sound very glamorous… But to make it fun for the kiddos, turn it into a game! See who can pick up the most trash and pick a prize at the end to hand out. Don’t forget to recycle applicable items!
