Welcome to Green Spiral Tours:
adventure maps
& field trips
designed to help you
fall in love with your place on the planet.
¤

¤
Field trips spiral the calendar,
and are one-of-a-kind,
off-the-beaten track adventures.
¤
Typically a $10 per family donation
is requested as a donation
by the trip leader.
¤

¤
Founded by nature teacher
Jessie Hoagland in 2008,
Green Spiral Tours offers a way
to supercharge your learning
in the company of curious
and like-minded others.
¤
¤
Feb 2020 marks the beginning of
Year Eleven
for Green Spiral Tours.
While families remain the central focus,
everyone is welcome on all adventures at any time.
¤
We have lots of grandparents, nannies,
architects, landscapers, and yoga teachers
on any given adventure.
¤

¤
To find out about the next adventure,
join the Green Spiral invitation list
by submitting the form below.
Emails come out about once per month,
or when inspiration strikes.
¤

¤
The emails are fun and educational —
they give you the bigger picture,
while the field trips bring big ideas
down to practice.
¤

¤
Lots of people are inspired to follow along
with their own adventures,
at their own pace,
and on their own time.
¤
¤
Unplug, play with your city
and get connected
to nature and each other.
¤
¤
Scroll down to see where we’ve been,
and to collect ideas about where you can go
on your own.

Hello! So glad I found your site, you have been busy! I was wondering if there were any groups in Missouri, and here you are. Yay! I have an open FB page called : My Missouri Backyard that is for nature lovers in MO. If you check it out it’s self explanatory, I’ve been posting local pics here and encourage others to post activities and pics that are available to families to participate in. Or just some cool pics people have taken outside. I hope my kids and I will have an opportunity to attend some activities with your group.

is it possible for an old friend to send a donation to a true child of the universe….just talking about that old volkswagen van that I smashed a finger in and looked you up and go figure. Congratulations, what an accomplishment…me thinks I see some new shiny bottums in those photos!

Indeed. Not all those who wander are lost.
Look for the Columbus adventure book of maps coming soon….
(Heartland Roadtrips).
