Resource naturalist Jim Henning of the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center presented a geocaching program recently as a way to get children interested in the outdoors through the use of hi-tech gear. Henning said so many kids these days have their face in front of a screen, weather it is a monitor, TV or smart phone, that he hopes if he can pique their curiosity he can get them outside experiencing nature as well as utilizing 21st century technology.
