Today's episode is a short bonus that I've been planning for quite awhile - How to Create a Great Nature Field Trip. I cover many best practices, including creating a theme that ties your trip together, and to the organization you represent, how to pace your trip, both in content and activities, and tons of useful tips and tricks I've learned over the years in my professional life, as a guide, and in obtaining my Certified Interpretive Guide certification from the National Association of Interpretation (NAI).

The full transcript and show notes are at my Nature's Archive Podcast website.

I also briefly talk about the City Nature Challenge, which is coming up on April 30 through May 3, 2021. This is a friendly challenge between cities to document as much biodiversisty as possible using iNaturalist. It's a great activity for individuals or families, and serves as a great excuse to take note of interesting things all around us that are often overlooked. The aforementioned show notes discuss this further.

And I'll be back to my standard episodes on May 3, 2021. As a sneak preview, in the next couple of months you'll get to hear about prairies, bird observatories, mountain lions, feathers, and more.
