Read nature books from the library, and learn something new.
Libraries are some of the coolest (and yet underutilized) public services available in just about every city and town. Not only can you borrow books about specific birds, animals, and trees in your area, but you can find all kinds of fun books about other aspects of nature, such as baby animals, ways to get dirty, and even animal poop!
