All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

See also our Environment community, which is focused on weather, climate, climate change, and stuff like that.

Mine probably has to be mountain biking. I just love riding through the forest, sometimes catching some air time and swallowing the occasional fly whilst going downhill at 30km/h.

Is walking a hobby, ha ha! A walk around the neighborhood enjoying the trees and birds always makes me feel better. Walking around the nature preserve close to me is also super peaceful and relaxing. I also like feeding the birds in my yard- watching their behavior is fascinating and entertaining!

Walking and just being among trees and nature is definitely a hobby! The more you do it the more you become familiar with what is around you. Your eyes open and you begin to notice and appreciate the diversity of all kinds of wildlife. Check out the Seek app or Merlin to learn more about what you're seeing. Love both of those apps!

I’ve got the Merlin app for keeping track of my bird list! I’ll have to check out Seek!

Hiking is just walking, really.
