    Living in an area where there were plenty of woods to wander in was an important part of my childhood, though I perhaps didn't realize it at the time. After leaving home, I spent many years living in the city before coming back to the country and the woods, where I am now.

    When our sons were little we were in Scouting which helped, but later decided to move to the country. There are so many many things that our children have experienced here. Thanks for sharing your research. I'll be back!
