There's something instantly soothing about plantlife, birdwatching, and outdoor vistas. No matter how you prefer to experience the natural world, you'll find your pursuits far richer when they're supplemented by information from nature magazines. Featuring gorgeous photography and a wealth of research, these publications can be enjoyed even when bad weather prevents you from heading outside.

The best natural experiences are often right outside our windows, as Birds & Blooms quickly reveals. This magazine is an essential read when you want to learn more about the feathered friends that bring lovely melodies and vibrant colors to your day. It is available in both print and digital formats, so you can enjoy insightful articles on the go.

If you want to learn more about the environmental implications that could impact your nature experiences, publications such as National Wildlife and Smithsonian Magazine should provide the insight you desire, as they are packed with the latest research on all things nature.

Many regional magazines are also chock full of content about the natural world. Wisconsin Natural Resources, for example, is a great choice for nature lovers who live in the Upper Midwest.

Kids can learn a lot about the great outdoors when they read the right magazines. While many will be happy to page through adult-oriented nature magazines, they'll be even more enthused about publications designed for younger readers. National Geographic Kids is essential, but Ranger Rick and Zoobooks are also wonderful options.
