Where is nature? Is it only found far away in national parks or on hiking trails? Nature is all around us. Wherever there are living things, there is nature nearby, even in a city with lots of people. There’s nature everywhere we look if we know how to look! Learn more about the nearby nature that exists right off our steps in our yards and playgrounds as well as the streets and sidewalks of our cities and towns.
