Life is short, and childhood is even shorter! Get some use out of that wooden swing set — it can be used to enhance your family traditions. Make something old new again for your child's spring or summer birthday by making the swing set the centerpiece for creating a themed birthday party. This is a unique twist to an outdoor kids’ celebration, but it’s perfect...

Section 4, 10:00 am
One way- 4.2 miles
(South Lark’s Lake Road To Robinson Road)
Meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Pleasantview Township Hall located at the corner of Pleasantview and Stutsmanville Roads. http://northcountrytrail.org/hrb/Home.htmlHave you and your kids had an adventure today?

“Nature can be the clump of trees… or the ravine by the house. In terms of biodiversity, those places many not be that important, but to a child they can be a whole universe, where they can discover a sense of wonder. That is essential to our humanity, and we can't deny that to future generations.”
