Getting outside has always been a part of our family routine.

Intro to Nature Tour

As a native and longtime resident of Eau Claire, my husband and I are delighted to be contributors to this new blog. My name is Connie, and my husband Jeff and I are your Nature resource in the Eau Claire area.

Since we married, 36 years ago, getting outside has always been a high priority and a part of our family routine. Now that the kids are out of the house and we have more time, we do a lot of hiking, biking, grilling out and campfires in the summer, canoeing and kayaking. Due to the weather and time of year, we have enjoyed our daily walks in the woods with the dogs and frequent snowshoeing outings in some of the state parks. We have two golden retrievers that share our love of nature and we bring them with us on most of our outings. We’ve visited
Lowes Creek County Park most  — they have great trails and the dogs love it too. As always, we are really looking forward to the warmer months when we can get out and do more. I look forward to sharing more specific outings and events with you in the months to come.

The music and arts scene in the Eau Claire Area is alive and well, and from live local theater to mainstream national acts, I can’t get enough of it! I enjoy all aspects of the cultural arts from performing to watching, and hope to bring it alive for you in the Visit Eau Claire Music and Arts blog.

I live in the hills south of Eau Claire with my wife, Ruth, my son, Taylor and our two cats, Marie and Louise. We are all active in road and mountain biking, skiing and snow shoeing. Taylor and I race our bikes in the WiSport and WORS races throughout the spring, summer and fall.
