Happy March!

Today my family went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. My favorite part was the Ledges. There was bright emerald green moss on the rocks and cliff edges. We hiked through a cave called the Ice Box. I learned that the Cuyahoga River has caught on fire many times! It was so dirty, that it actually burned.
The fire in 1969 inspired Earth Day and the Clean Water Act.
Wow! Dirty water!

  2. Hi Maddie,
    I love your magazine!
    My favorite place that has to do with nature is Hawaii. It has lots of colorful birds and beautiful blue oceans. It also has sparkling, golden, soft sand. It has lots of grass-green palm trees surrounding the golden sand. I'm looking forward to seeing it's amazing sights again this December. I hope you can come to see me soon!
    Love,
    Tatum

  3. Dear Maddie,
    Your picture is wonderful. What a beautiful spot! My favorite place in nature is Aspen Grove. We went to several Aspen Grove Family Camps when your dad was a teenager and had lots of fun. I especially liked looking at the spectacular mountains and the quaking aspens.
    Thanks for your marvelous magazine!
    Love, Grandma

    Hi Maddie, Cuyahoga Valley sounds like a beautiful place. Did you know that Aunt Gena's birthday is on Earth Day? My favorite place is nature are the redwood forests. I love those trees. They are so large and old. Some have survived for thousands of years. They also make a great little house/room (in those with the burned out base.) I love the whole habitat - redwood sorrel, huckleberries, flowers, animals. I would love to live among the old growth redwoods, but they love rain and fog. I think I would get tired of that after a few years. hugs and kisses Grandma
