Outdoor education is very important, maybe now more than ever. Our Audubon Vermont education team has created some great resources for ways folks can get outside and learn. These activities can easily be done from your own house/porch/yard with common household materials.

If you do an activty from our page, take a picture and share it with us on our Facebook page! We would love to see what you are up to!
