We found this story about a mom of 15 kids hiking the Appalachian Trail so inspiring and it confirms why we feel that nature study is so important to the Living Water School. After going through a divorce, therapy did not work, so she took them hiking and the healing began. We have seen the way nature study touches the lives of children and it is so simple to do. It is free to low cost. It can be done for any amount of time. Just simply get outside and watch the magic of nature touch the child.
