Connecting Children with Nature

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
John Muir

Children in today's world are being adversely affected by their diminishing connection with the natural world. To address this concern, the World Forum Foundation supported the development of the Nature Action Collaborative for Children and organized a major event to bring architects, community planners, early childhood educators, engineers, environmental educators, environmental activists, health specialists, and landscape architects from six continents together to promote nature education for young children:

Working Forum on Nature Education for Young Children
Arbor Day Farm, Nebraska City, Nebraska USA
July 21 - 23, 2008
