". . . a movement moves"
- Rev. Dr. Gerald L. Durley

Every region is different, every community of interest is different. However, there will be overlap. The purpose of getting together is to learn from each other to accelerate the movement. That is why you are here—to accelerate it. To move it from talk to action, understanding there will be some frustration. Think what will or could happen . . . and I see new things growing out of the fire of the past few decades.
 - Richard Louv

When I think about five years from now, it is not going to be a question of the Children & Nature Network or "Leave No Child Inside", but that we have hundreds of programs and activities going on physically in dozens of communities, that ultimately make us a national movement with real and measurable successes to show for our efforts.
 - John Parr

We need to institutionalize the structure of unstructured play
 - Richard Louv
