ON NATIONAL NEWS!
Watch this excellent segment from the Today Show on the phenomenon of "Nature Deficit
Disorder" and the national movement to get kids "out
into the wild." The segment reports that "Studies show
kids in the outdoors have: less stress, better
concentration, more creativity and higher self-esteem."
Afterwards, listen to Richard Louv, author of Last Child
in the Woods, describe the importance of this work and
how families and communities can help connect their kids
to the outdoors.
