How To Maximize Your Nature Walks



   It's that time of year when people are always out for walks at their local arboretums, in fact, we were just at ours! The weather in spring is warm, but not hot, perfect for walking, jogging, and/or hiking. When we were at our arboretum, it occurred to me, I could have been more prepared to take in the scenery, which brings us to our first point:

Bring a camera! Even if you are going solely for exercise, you never know when you will find that gorgeous butterfly or that extravagant flower.



Bring plenty of water and snacks. The more water and food you bring, the longer you will be able to stay. You will have more energy and ability to focus.



Have something to do when you are resting. When you walk for a while you can get pretty tired. Most parks have benches scattered along their trails, so when you see one, take advantage of it! Sit down and read a chapter of a book, or have one of your snacks. After all, there is nothing like reading a story in the middle of nature!




Take a bird watching or nature book. You will be able to learn about what you are walking through if you do so!



Make a nature journal. Using a regular notebook, write about your surroundings, press flowers, and sketch what you see. By doing this you will be able to preserve the memory of your walk, and the more you journal, the more you will learn about nature.





So, with all that said, you can go on a nature walk with everything you need to make memories, learn about nature, and do what you were meant to do with your weekend- Have fun!

See you on the trails!

DIY Pressed Flowers

    Summer is almost upon us! The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and the sky is blue! It's all so wonderful. So back to the flower part, wouldn't it be nice to preserve their beauty to look at on even the coldest of days? There is such a method; it's called flower pressing. It only takes a few minutes to set up, and it's so simple the kids can do it too!


Materials:

  • Freshly cut flowers
  • A few heavy books
  • Wax paper
  • Knife (or just your hands)


Procedure:

1. With your knife, cut the stem off one of your flowers as close to the petals as possible. Repeat with all flowers.


2. Cut a sheet of wax paper and place it on a flat surface. Lay the flowers face down on one half of the wax paper, then place it in one of the books.


3. Fold the other half of the wax paper over the flowers, then close the book. Place the other books on top.



4. Store the stack of books is a warm, dry place for two weeks. When the two weeks is up, carefully open the book, take out the wax paper, then bend it to help remove the flowers.

5. When you have removed all of the flowers from the wax paper, let them dry for one more day without pressing. 


  And there you have it, pressed flowers! These are great just about anywhere you can think of! Have fun making these, and don't forget, they make great gifts too!
