Nature is everywhere. Unfortunately, many of us take little or no notice of what's going on around us on a daily basis. Exploring The Nature Around You will help introduce you to some of the routine yet often unnoticed goings on of some of our common - and not so common - plants, insects, birds, and other animals.
"With excellent close-up video and captivating background music, the emphasis is on providing the viewer with an entertaining, yet educational look at common insects, amphibians, and birds that are often seen in the eastern United States, but often overlooked....This DVD is ideal as a preparation for local field trips and to encourage observation of nature..."
