You may recall that I write periodically to “nature kids.” It’s a free pdf download from the Letters To You page, written for older kids and teens who are drawn to wild places and the things that live there.

This time I included a bit about why I write these letters. Some of it is about sharing places and experiences that may encourage young people to go see preserves, parks, and such places themselves. As an example, I talked about Ruthann’s and my trip to Palmetto State Park in 2022. (I also blogged about it here.)

If you know any kids who would be interested in this current letter, please share it with them (in print or via a link). I mentioned that I’m currently writing about nature kids in several articles for Green Source Texas and noted that – with parent permission – I very much would like to talk with a couple of serious nature kids. And thanks!
