Farewell 2022, Come On In 2023!

---

It's been a challenging year. A busy year. A year filled with adventures in nature near and far. Local parks in the snow, Door County parks in pouring rain, a gorgeous autumn, sculpture parks, a lush and colorful summer, wildflowers in spring. As far as spending time outdoors, Wisconsin has it covered. 

The year 2022 marked the 8th anniversary of The Park Next Door. I hoped to get to 200 listings by the end of May, and surpassed that number. Presently there are 233 listings, and several new special features, with more to come in 2023. I've put together a short video of some of the highlights of 2022 exploring our local parks and preserves.

The weather has been erratic already this winter, so who knows what will come next. But whatever comes our way, I'll be out there searching for new places to explore, to share with you.  

In the meantime, I hope 2023 brings peace, joy, and moments spent in nature into your world.

Happy New Year!
