Health Tip: Take Kids for a Nature Walk

To help children disconnect from TV, video games and light-up toys, go outside for a nature walk and get some exercise.

The Wilderness Society offers these suggestions for what to do:

• Listen to the sounds of nature, from insects to the wind in the trees.
• Bring along a camera to take pictures of interesting wildlife and plants.
• Peek under rocks to see what kinds of insects and other wildlife lurk below.
• Pack a field guide to look up birds, butterflies and more.
