Our Vision
To connect each child in our communities with a natural place near their school and the opportunity to learn outdoors.
“Regular time outdoors helps children thrive. Over the past few generations, childhood has moved indoors. On average, today’s kids spend up to 44 hours per week in front of a screen, and less than 10 minutes a day playing outdoors. And for too many kids, regular and safe access to nature is determined by race, income, identity, ability and postal code.”
