Overview

A 14-day adventure to discover the wild world hiding in your own neighborhood.

Why It Matters

You don't need to travel to find nature — it's thriving in the cracks of sidewalks, the branches of street trees, and the soil of your backyard. This sprint trains you and your family to see the everyday wilderness that surrounds you, turning ordinary walks into expeditions of discovery.

Research Spotlight

Children who regularly engage with nearby nature show improved focus, reduced stress, and greater creativity. Researcher Richard Louv coined the term 'nature deficit disorder' to describe the costs of disconnection from the natural world, particularly for children.
