At the tender age of four years old, little Hadlie Brechler has already seen more of nature than many of us city-bound folk ever will.

Morgan Brechler - aka ‘mama to a wild spirited girl' - has documented her tot’s journey rock climbing, trekking and hiking all across Arizona, America.

And the photographs are pretty stunning.

And now her parents are keen to get others inspired to get out in the great outdoors with their little ones, so have set up the Born Wild Project to encourage them to do so.

It aims to empower “families to raise children who are connected with wilderness and wildness.”

Project leaders explain how modern children only spend 30 minutes a day outside, compared to an average of 7 hours in front of a screen.

Watch the clip here:

Mum Morgan says how getting outside can be done:

“We do our adventuring whenever we can, and after work if we have time to go on a sunset hike or night kayaking we do it, we make it happen.”

Speaking to Good Morning America, the Insta-famous tot’s parents explained that Hadlie got a thirst for rock climbing at just one years old.

Dad Jared Marvel said, to begin with he “leaned up a sheet of plywood against the side of our house and put some rock holds on it and she started climbing.”

And mum Morgan Brechler added:

"I hear parents [say], 'Slow down! Don't climb that! Stay out of trees”

Although Jared insists they keep an eye over Hadlie - and she’s safe!
