One Small Square: Backyard

The One Small Square series will show you how to take a closer look at the Earth, one small square at a time. There you'll meet a dazzling cast of creatures. And, you'll watch them interact with one another as well as with a supporting cast of plants, soil, rocks, weather- their ecosystem. As you travel all over nature, square by square, you'll see why it's so important to take care of our planet's amazing variety of life.

One Small Square: Backyard invites you to sharpen your senses by looking, listening, touching, and smelling a place that might already seem familiar. Whether you go outside and do the activities or explore the Backyard on your own computer, you're bound to come away with a deeper love for nature close to home.
