Hey Denise,

I am still at Discovery Park and I do remember you. We should be friends on here, eh? I have not used this much. I love Children and Nature Network, though.

Hi Denise, Warm welcome to C&NN Connect. I'm the forum host. I'm glad you found us and hope you make yourself at home in discussions and groups. Your work sounds really interesting. You might enjoy our Children's Built Environment Group (not so much about signage, but there may be some correspondence there.) There's also a discussion in which people are sharing about their nature-inspired creative work:

http://childrenandnature.ning.com/forum/categories/books-movies-music-and-other/listForCategory

I hope you'll share your activities, ideas and photos with us and find this a rich source of resources. For any questions about the network, see our FAQ page. Hope to see you here again soon.
