If this is your first time to participate here's how the exchange works.

Fill-out and submit the form (click on the Exchange Form link below). Once sign-ups close we will pair up exchange partners and email you their information. We know how excited you will be to find out what state you will be mailing to but please be patient with us as we are wives and homeschool mamas first and foremost.

Sign Up Form!

A few business items: 

* For those that wish to participate we are asking that you make a required $5 donation to Sole Hope. It's a chance for us to give towards a beautiful cause and all money raised goes directly to them! The link to donate is found on our sign up form. Go check them out and see all the amazing things they are doing! Sole Hope 

* This round we are opening up sign ups for 400 participants that means we have the potential to raise $2,000.00 for Sole Hope!!!

* Sign ups will be open until Friday, July 12th or until we hit the 400 participant cut-off! Please, PLEASE have your boxes in the mail no later than August 31st!!!

* If for some reason you cannot participate after signing up please let us know right away so we can match your partner up with a new pal. *All donations are non-refundable. 

* The Nature Pal Exchange is only open to families with children. 


Now the fun part! Get outside, start exploring, and collecting bits and pieces of nature! We suggest (but it's totally up to you...get creative) to package your finds in an egg crate and label what you are sending to the best of your knowledge. If you want to add postcards or extra goodies from your region again that's totally up to you. It's all about having fun, being creative, and learning about our beautiful world.  If you need some inspiration check out #naturepalexchange on instagram.

Dawn has some really great posts on sending and sharing specimens safely!

*Please use wisdom when choosing items to send! When in doubt it's better to leave it out!
