What was it about that like that dynamic that intrigued you for this?
14:58
Yeah, I think there's something really special in trying something with folks that are in the same mind and spirit as you, whether it's a child or a full family.
15:08
I think re-approaching exploration and engagement in nature with a childlike mindset is really fun and inviting.
15:16
And it offers a real opportunity for individuals to connect and kind of share space within the same mental framework.
15:25
So the more that we can offer that free and, you know, continue to build the outdoor space and family, the better collectively we'll be.
15:36
I think we all know the impact that nature has on individuals and the value that it has the further we get into it.
15:43
But it has to start somewhere and it has to be free.
