WELCOME!
WELCOME TO THE ONLINE HOME OF THE DELAWARE ASSOCIATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
October is
Children in Nature Month
in Delaware
Fall is the perfect time to experience nature and instill in a child some of the wonder and curiosity nature provides. So, get outside Delaware and help connect children with nature!
Find a park, forest, field, path,....
Have you ever been on a hike with kids amongst the trees as the leaves change?
Have a picnic along a babbling brook and help a child appreciate the sounds of nature.
Watch the squirrels and birds in a park and get your children curious about what wild animals are up to in fall.
How about a bike ride with your family to the local park?
Stargaze in your neighborhood on a nice cold and crisp October Saturday night.
Have you ever been on a long walk with a group of kids at a beach on a quiet fall afternoon?
Do you have access to a canoe or kayak?
Perhaps a fall camping trip?
Give kids a chance to freely experience nature in their own ways.
Give children some opportunity for adventure in nature.
Take a child for a walk and share nature with them.
