Daylight Saving Time is here, and the great outdoors is beckoning adventurers with an extra hour of daylight. In fact, 84 percent of Americans say they will spend the extra time outside, according to a survey conducted on behalf of Back to Nature by StrategyOne. Yet, naturerelated activities – including hiking, fishing and visits to public parks – declined 18-25 percent since 1981, according to The Nature Conservancy. “Nature is within our reach every day, yet people are not spending as much time outside as they used to,” Steve Long, conservation director of The Nature Conservancy, said in a news release. “We want to help people experience the simple wonders of nature and get them outside again this spring.”

To promote the return to nature, Back to Nature and The Nature Conservancy created The Backyard Guide to Nature. The online resource offers a number of simple outdoor activities that can be done locally. “You don’t have to travel far or spend a great deal to enjoy the nature all around you,” Back to Nature’s Dan Photo by Todd DeFeo Anglemyer said in a news release. “Our guide reminds people of the endless ways they can interact with nature from simply watching a sunset to camping in their own backyards.”
