WHY WE MOVED
David and Mary wanted their kids to have an appreciation of nature and all the wonderful places to explore on Long Island; they also wanted inexpensive leisure activities that promoted healthy living.
HOW WE MOVED
The family goes on regular outings to a variety of LI locales, including Shu Swamp Sanctuary, Sunken Forest, Garvies Point, Stillwell Woods and Blydenburgh Park (where they can take their dog!)
THE RESULT

The kids, now consummate hikers and bug collectors, enjoy a no-cost, eco-friendly family bonding and learning experience—and have a great time doing it.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"We love exploring these wonderful places, and it gives us the chance to teach our boys their role in keeping our island, and our world, healthy and protected,” says David, adding, “the cost of hiking and collecting...zero dollars. Getting great exercise and having a fun time together...priceless."
