Children and Nature Initiative - National Environmental Education Foundation

Washington DC
4301 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 160
Washington, 20001 United States

The National Environmental Education Foundation joins the movement to reconnect children with nature. We have compiled a comprehensive Fact Sheet highlighting published literature that supports the health benefits of the natural environment. Other resources include: a revised pediatric environmental history form that integrates the nature concept; webinar co-sponsored by NEEF; PowerPoint presentation; links to find a nature center near you; and other helpful online resources. We encourage parents and caregivers to get their children outdoors. Together we can teach them how to protect the environment and their health. For more information, please visit:

"If you go with long-term significance, my pick for the top story of not only 2009 but also of the 21st Century is the pandemic of Nature Deficit Disorder, a term so aptly coined by Richard Louv in his best-selling outdoor book, Last Child in the Woods...."
— Bill Schneider, NewWest.Net

“Concerns about long-term consequences—affecting emotional well-being, physical health, learning abilities, environmental consciousness—have spawned a national movement to ‘leave no child inside.’ In recent months, it has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grassroots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a ‘green hour’ in each day.”
— Washington Post, June 2007

“The movement to reconnect children to the natural world has arisen quickly, spontaneously, and across the usual social, political, and economic dividing lines.”
— Orion magazine, March/April 2007
