The organization advances nature connection strategies in key areas that impact childrenâs daily lives: families, cities and schools. C&NN curates research that makes the case for regular nature connection; works to advance policies that increase equitable access to outdoor experiences and green spaces; and builds the capacity of nature connection leaders around the world. C&NN is also curating COVID19 resources for families, educators, community leaders and more at Finding Nature News.
“Turning our indoor society back out to the benefits of nature is a critical issue for the health of our children, our communities, and our planet,” said Laura Mylan, senior vice president of the Children & Nature Network. “It will require creative cross-sector partnerships and leadership. By investing in Finding Nature News and in young children and nature leaders, Vasque continues to be a true partner in encouraging people to spend more time outdoors.”
