Sherwood Forest
Monday, 05 November 2018
The name Sherwood Forest elicits an air of whimsy, even a hopeful exuberance. There’s a modern day Sherwood Forest in Sandpoint that evokes similar feelings thanks to a local couple’s desire to protect and share their own whimsical place with fellow nature enthusiasts. Sherwood Forest, also known as the Syringa Trails, is 140 acres of

I’ve come to believe that given enough time and an encouraging adult, any child will come to love nature. There are some like my nieces, Nala and Nishta, who need no convincing and are up for any adventure outside. Others who have grown up with less outdoor time and more screen time take more encouraging
