Humans and Nature - Stay Curious, Utah!

Even though humans tend to live in cities and towns, they are a part of the natural world. Humans interact with animals, plants, and other parts of the natural world when we camp, hike, and visit national and state parks. But humans are also a part of the nature that exists within their towns and cities. There is nature all around us and we are all around nature!
