Nature Bus - Guest Post

The Nature Bus will not have any tours until the threat of CV has passed, but we’d like to encourage everyone to spend time outdoors this Spring and stay connected with nature. We will be posting often so check out our Facebook page, our Instagram, and website blog to stay inspired.

Of course, we encourage you to follow social distancing guidelines during all visits to natural areas, by keeping a distance of 6 feet or more between you and other guests. Please refrain from visiting if you are sick and/or experiencing any symptoms.
