Campaign

Wisconsin No Child Left Inside Coalition

Wisconsin
800 Reserve Street
Statewide, Wisconsin 54481 United States

This campaign is Statewide.

The Wisconsin No Child Left Inside Coalition is a statwide partnership organization working to develop an Environmental Literacy Plan (ELP) for Wisconsin. Wisconsin's Environmental Literacy Plan will identify a comprehensive strategy to provide teachers and students in Wisconsin, from pre-kindergarten through the twelfth grade, with opportunities, appropriate structures, and support mechanisms to develop their environmental literacy and connect with nature.

The Coalition is made up of representatives from state agencies like the Department of Public Instruction and the Department of Natural Resources, school teachers and administrators, school board members, and non-governmental organizations. A broad advisory group is also providing input and feedback.

"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
