We had a blast last weekend celebrating “Leave No Child Inside” with a group of girl scouts and their parents. We enjoyed a walk on the farm where we hiked through fields, woods, gardens, and near ponds and wetlands. The girl scouts learned about why wetlands are important, how we help restore woodlands, and how gardens make food. They also had fun catching bugs and a toad, picking strawberries, and meeting all the animals at Serosun—horses, chicks, turkeys, and more.

“Leave No Child Inside” is a Chicago Wilderness initiative that promotes a culture where children enjoy being outside in nature, giving them a sense of connection to their place, a chance to be healthier, and making them stewards of local nature. The programs inspire curiosity, growth, and creativity.

We were happy to be a part of this initiative, since it aligns with everything life at Serosun stands for! Serosun is a sustainable community that offers peaceful, pastoral living. Beautiful homes are built where residents can enjoy hundreds of acres of open space with restored prairie and woodlands, centered around a working farm. Make an appointment to visit Serosun today!
