Kid Links! |

The internet is a great place to study nature on a cold rainy
day when you can't get outside. If you want to do some research
or just have some fun, check out these cool
sites: |
|
eNature.com: a great
site for plant & animal pictures and information -- you can search
their field guides for just about any living thing you might come across!
More than 5,000 North American species are presented on the site, with
full-color photographs and descriptions. The site also features a library
of over 500 bird calls, guides to National Parks and Refuges, a Backyard
Habitat Planner, and the highly popular Ask an Expert section, hosted by
eNature's staff naturalists. |

Geographic Kids: an awesome kid site full of pictures, stories, games,
activities and more. Make sure you check out the interactive

everyone, separated into age groups from preschoolers through teens.

sponsored by the NWF. Join Frogwatch as a volunteer and learn how to

Know any other good sites? As much as
I enjoy playing on the computer, I'd much rather be outside, so I can't find
every cool website out there. If you know of any I've missed, please
email me with
the subject: Boxerwood web links, and I'll check them out.
Thanks!
