Monthly Picture Challenge
Every month, we will have a brand-new Backyard Picture Challenge to inspire you to get outside and explore! With a parent or guardian’s permission, we will proudly feature your amazing discoveries in our Backyard Explorer Gallery so everyone can celebrate the wonders of nature together.
For our August Picture Challenge, one lucky participant will be randomly selected to receive a signed copy of Our Backyard. So grab your camera, head outside, and show us what makes your backyard special to you!
Reminder-it doesn’t need to be perfect, just fun!
