Support Children and Nature

Today,  I’d like to ask your support for The Children & Nature Network (C&NN).  C&NN invests in change makers to build networks that support the health and vitality of cities, provide green job opportunities for young leaders, strengthen family connections in the outdoors, and collect expertise and research to increase awareness and fuel grassroots campaigns worldwide.  Many of the stories we have published about connecting kids to nature describe projects and ideas that were either directly supported or inspired by C&NN and the thoughts of its co-founder  Richard Louv.

Here are a couple of easy ways to help:

MORE ABOUT THE CHILDREN & NATURE NETWORK

After the publication of Last Child in the Woods in 2005, author Richard Louv and other thought leaders co-founded the Children & Nature Network to fuel the global grassroots movement to reconnect children with nature. C&NN invests in local grassroots leaders, inspiring and supporting them to take action to create a future in which all children play, learn and grow with nature in their everyday lives.  You can learn more and contribute at the Children & Nature Network website.

 

A Final Note

We, at Explore! the eMagazine for Adventure and Exploration, receive no financial support from The Children & Nature Network, but we do contribute.  When you click on product links, like the link to Last Child in the Woods book, above, or the ads and links to the right, then buy something, we get a small percentage of what you  pay.  That helps fund this website and allows us to contribute to great organizations like C&NN that support the ideals of our mission “to improve your health by encouraging you to explore the outdoors. ”  Thank you for contributing to  C&NN!
