Getting Started

We’re a lively crew over here at Tree Huggers In Training.

Our goal: To provide families with babies under a year the necessary information not only to get outdoors but to enjoy it.

So take a visual stroll through our reviews to determine which trail you'll tackle first!

Stop thinking, start writing

I will be pressing “publish” soon to each of the hikes listed in the post below. They will each include the basics, as promised.

Part of my writer’s block is that there were only a couple of hikes that really warrant the usual long explanation, but then I feel like I’m not giving the other trails a fair shake.

Also, look for more trails in the South Bay in the coming months!

Walk and Hikes soon to be reviewed (aka the backlog)

Sep 3rd, 2008 by Dana | 0

I realize that I haven’t posted a walk or hike in a quite a while. This is not to say that I haven’t been enjoying the trails, I have. My challenge has instead been the list of reviews that are in the “almost done” phase instead of “done done.” The current backlog will include these walks and hikes:

  1. The Emeryville stretch of the Bay Trail
  2. Wunderlich Park (San Mateo)
  3. Claremont Canyon (Berkeley)
  4. Another great combination of trails in Redwood Regional Park (Oakland)
  5. Armstrong Woods (Guernville)
  6. China Camp (Marin)
  7. Edgewood Park (San Mateo)

In order to get them up soon, I will be posting an an abbreviated version of the usual review which will include the most important details to get you outside to enjoy the outdoors.

Tip: Lavishly Green and Summer Sun Safety

Jul 28th, 2008 by Dana | 0

Staying safe in the sun is an ongoing topic of conversation (and posting) here at Tree Huggers In Training so when I came across Caryn Bailey’s Lavishy Green column devoted to summer sun safety, I wanted to pass it along to all of you. Her column addresses all of the key points you should consider when going outside with your small children as well as listing specific products that should help keep you and the family well protected.

If there are products that have worked well for you, leave a comment and let us know.
