Hunn Nature Park

Hunn Nature Park

How is it that I’ve lived in Dover for the majority of my life and haven’t heard of Hunn Nature Park?? Because it’s new! Well, relatively speaking anyway. Kent County Parks and Recreation manages the land and in 2016, it was opened to the public. Aside from one very helpful article, there isn’t a ton […]

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

May 29, 2021 By Becca Leave a Comment

What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of Philadelphia? Big cities are such a juxtaposition between beauty and filth in my personal opinion. Everywhere you look there are piles of trash, graffiti, and dilapidated buildings. Philly has more than its' fair share of those things BUT it … [Read More...]
