With nicer weather on the horizon, there’s no better time to get outside and enjoy nature! Whether you spend time doing yard work at home, take a walk around the neighborhood, visit your favorite trail, or explore a new property, you can find peace and relaxation in the environment during this time of uncertainty. Take a moment to appreciate the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the smell of freshly cut grass, the warm embrace from the midday sunshine, and how the clouds look swirling in the sky.

Eastern skunk cabbage begins to emerge in wetland soil, which is one of the first signs of spring. Keep an eye out for it and other signs of spring in the next few weeks!
