Co-founded by Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, the Children & Nature Network seeks to reconnect children with the natural world. The website offers ideas, resources, tools, and several initiatives to help children, families, schools, and communities connect with nature and renew their love and wonder for the environment.
Initiatives and resources are targeted to serve youth, schools, community entities, libraries, and families and include information about the health and academic benefits of nature.
The website also includes an extensive research library that includes peer-reviewed scientific literature to “help build the evidence base for advancing the children and nature movement.”
