In March, 2008, over 80 participants in Community Session #1 "Connecting Children and Nature: Making It Happen in Idaho Communities" discussed a problem: America's children are spending less time outdoors today. This has profound effects on their physical, mental and emotional health, as well as the health of our lands.
The Idaho Children and Nature Network was formed to raise awareness of this problem and to implement programs. For more information contact Meggan Laxalt Mackey 208-378-5796; download agenda and meeting location (pdf).
