There's a strong inter-generational tie, with Annie's father and grandmother turning up from time to time, and Henry's family built into the show through Patsy's reporting and his parents' participation in outdoor activities. Aside from appealing to kids and enticing them outside, this sense of connected families that stay involved and pass on their experiences to the next generation is an important element of the show. Adding to Annie and Henry s adventures is a naturalist named Richard, who shows us all about habitats, wetlands, environmental issues and wildlife. Richard is Annie s friend and she visits him often at the environmental center, taped at DNR s Havenwoods Environmental Awareness Center in Milwaukee. He leads Annie and her small group of local friends outdoors, where the natural world around them comes alive.
