KIDS OF NATURE DIRECTORY OF USEFUL CONTACTS   

The idea behind the directory is to list places where children can connect with nature.  Campings, cottages or guesthouses must be located in settings with a good degree of wilderness, where immediate interaction with nature happens as you step out of your tent or room.
