As a person who loved tent camping as a child and young adult, I firmly believe every kid needs nature. When my kids were small, I made it a point to take them on nature walks as often as possible. We enjoyed long hikes in the woods. I wanted to instill a love of nature in my kids and trees were one way that I did that. After all, getting out in nature is one of the best ways for how to teach kids about plants. There are many other ways, too.
