As the benefit of nature-based interventions becomes more understood, there is an interest in people looking for accessible, easy to understand activities to incorporate into their existing work or volunteer site. Fortunately, you do not have to recreate the wheel. There are some excellent resources available and new resources coming out everyday. 

In New Hanover County, we take activities and develop easy to read sheets. While these were created with professionals working in schools in mind, they are helpful for anyone who wants to bring plants and nature to others, regardless of age or ability. Our Simple Activity Sheets can be found at this link:
