The new year is the perfect time to start a simple habit that keeps you and your family healthy, happy, and connected to nature. A Green Hour™ resolution invites kids (and adults!) to spend time outside every day—exploring, observing wildlife, and discovering something new in every season.
Let’s Get Started
Choose a goal that inspires your family to get outside more in 2026! Here are a few ideas to help you begin:

Tip: Make your Green Hour™ goal realistic, fun, and something you can grow with throughout the year.
