With its natural offerings, the Richmond area is a huge playground waiting to be explored.
But for parents with kids, it can feel a little overwhelming to get out and enjoy nature while also dealing with diaper changes, nap times, tantrums, and the general unpredictability of children.
A little-known group called Hike it Baby Richmond aims to help parents overcome the overwhelm, and it’s completely free!
