About

The Children & Nature Network (C&NN) was created to encourage and support the people and organizations working nationally and internationally to reconnect children with nature. The network provides a critical link between researchers and individuals, educators and organizations dedicated to children’s health and well-being. C&NN also promotes fundamental institutional change and provides resources for sharing information, strategic initiatives and success stories.

These selected articles and recent writings by Richard Louv and others expand on events and initiatives in the children and nature movement, its leadership, strategies and vision for the future.

C&NN Chairman and co-founder, Richard Louv is the author of seven books, including Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder, which helped launch an international movement to connect children to nature. In 2008, he received the Audubon Medal; former recipients include Rachel Carson, E.O. Wilson and President Jimmy Carter. For more information about Richard Louv please see http://www.richardlouv.com.
