Spending time in nature has been shown to lower stress levels and reduce symptoms of ADD - I think our bodies feel the connection even if our minds don't always see it.

I think this trend will have negative repercussions as they become adults..we'll have an entire generation of people who just don't get why it's important to protect natural resources they haven't even experienced.

Although I see few humans, I always find their garbage. It is disgusting to see how people carelessly throw out trash beside the road. I never return from the woods with out a huge bag of trash I have picked up. Please if you "Pack it in, Pack it out". Together we can make a difference.
