Grassroots Gathering

In addition to the Web site and the C&NN Publications, each year the Children & Nature Network hosts the annual Grassroots Gathering of leaders in the movement to reconnect children and nature. Grassroots Gathering participants share inspiration, information, lessons learned, strategies for change, and creative approaches to addressing the challenges we face.

The gathering is an opportunity for Richard Louv and the Children & Nature Network board of directors to join regional leaders and to network, peer-to-peer, with members who have launched, or are planning to launch, local and regional initiatives. These gatherings provide a forum for exploring well-researched and common-sense strategies for reconnecting children and nature, now and into the future. During the gathering participants share information about their current programs and actions, ask questions, and collaborate toward more effective solutions.
