And I'm not talking about you know who....
Kids need to be outside, and with the likes of Richard Louv inspiring the nation, there is a push from the government to fund programs that support outdoor education & getting kids to go play in the woods again.
Working locally, I am supporting this effort by leading a scout troop, working on improving recreational access to trails in my area, and organizing parents, teachers, village planners, and kids to walk and bike to school. It's very satisfying to work at the local level, and to see results in my community!
Professionally, I am currently seeking funding for a nationwide game to get kids out exploring in the woods and geotagging the natural wonders they discover. What can you do in your community? Probably many of the same things. There are kids everywhere in this country who need someone to unplug them and throw them out the door. Try it, they'll like it!
