Children in Nature Collaborative
In April 2006 Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, called for a nationwide campaign to “Leave No Child Inside” and a movement to reconnect children with nature. There are now campaigns in over forty regions of the United States. The Bay Area “Leave No Child Inside” campaign started in California in September 2006.

The Children in Nature Collaborative was initiated in 2007 with the goal of engaging individuals and organizations from all sectors in this issue. The Collaborative is made up of regional and national partners — teachers, parents, farmers, health professionals, environmentalists, businesses, faith-based groups and community leaders.

Sharing Nature Foundation
Sharing Nature is dedicated to helping people of all ages experience their oneness and harmony with all Life.

Established in 1979 by naturalist and author, Joseph Cornell, the Sharing Nature Foundation uses creative nature activities to give people joyful and inspiring experiences of nature. We believe it's only by uplifting people's consciousness that we truly change their way of looking at, and relating to the world around them. To do this we use Flow Learning™, a playful and inspirational teaching strategy that works with people where they are and gently  brings them to a deeper, more profound experience of nature.

Nature’s Global Network

We have started a global network of "Nature Sharers". There are so many good websites, projects and programs out there. Wouldn’t it benefit all of us to coordinate and exchange our ideas and activites for the benefit of children (young and old) all over the globe? It is up to us to do something to reach the kids of the computer age and bring them back into their natural surroundings. It seems there is a lot of N.D.D. going around (Nature Deficit Disorder).  The younger kids in Germany think a "Cow is Purple" due to an Advertising Campaign for Milka Chocolate over here! But fortunately there are many people like you who are willing to inspire people to do something about the situation. Read more...
