Handbook of Nature Study - Outdoor Hour Challenge Survey

The last few years the Outdoor Hour Challenge has been focusing on seasonal nature study for the whole family, including older children. When the summer series of challenges ends, I would like to continue encouraging families with their nature study but I don't really have a clear idea of what that will look like yet. I decided that it was time for a survey of my readers to see what your ideas are for autumn and then winter.

Please take a few minutes to answer the questions and don’t be afraid to tell me what you really think or to share your experiences. Some of the best ideas have come from participants and in fact, the whole idea for the Outdoor Hour Challenges came from one of my blog readers. I appreciate your time and I will be reading all the comments and processing them before I decide on a direction for the Outdoor Hour Challenges.

Thank you so much for your time and all your answers will be kept private.
