Would anyone be interested in doing this? Maybe you aren't even familiar with it? Basically, one person organizes it and people collect one item on a nature walk such as nuts, leaves, shells, seeds, pine cones, etc. Leave a note with what state and what it is. Then everyone sends their nature stuff to the organizer along with shipping money and that person divides all of the nature items so that you end up with a box full of nature goodies from around the country for your nature table. I did this once a long time ago with a Waldorf e-group and it was so fun. It works best if at least 5 people do it. IF anyone is interested, speak up!

Well, we're not terribly Waldorf-y, but we are nature lovers! Count us in!

Sounds great! We have finally gotten our nature walks down to must-dos and we are really enjoying them, most especially bringing the bag of goodies home! Great idea!

Cool! No acorns here either, Mary, how about tiny coconuts? Sea Grape leaves are neat, dried they used to use them as playing cards! Seashells are a given...
