Connecting your children with nature and wildlife at an
early age is important. Master Thomas Gardner is pictured here absorbing the
sight of his first Moose!
Alaskans are fortunate to have an "envelope of
nature" surrounding us, fortunate indeed! Throughout my book I speak to
this importance and its effect on your life. People must free themselves from
their cubicles, mundane lifestyles and indoor routines and enjoy the outdoors
more wherever they are. MOST are far to removed from the natural world and it’s
causing problems. Not only to their mental health, but the environment too!
It's a lose, lose situation.
Most Alaskan’s, of all ages, enjoy the outdoors and spend
a great deal of time in it. It's healthy for ya! So, get your camp gear ready,
pack the right food and don't forget toilet paper! Don't let that deter you
ladies...
Take chances now and again and see where it leads you. I
think it is good for your brain to go somewhere and not know where until you get
there.
When you plant trees, vegetables or even potatoes too close
together, none of them do well. People in the city are planted too close to
each other, makes them harder to "grow" too!
