Nature-the sublime, the harsh, and the beautiful-offers something that the street or gated community or computer game cannot. Nature presents the young with something so much greater than they are; it offers an environment where they can easily contemplate infinity and eternity.

Time in nature is not leisure time; it's an essential investment in our chidlren's health (and also, by the way, in our own).

By letting our children lead us to their own special places we can rediscover the joy and wonder of nature.

Reconnection to the natural world is fundamental to human health, well-being, spirit, and survival.

There's a generation now that didn't grow up in nature. Some of these adults are parents and they know that nature is good for their kids but they don't know where to start.

Children who played outside every day, regrdless of weather, had better motor coordination and more ability to concentrate.

Being close to nature, in general, helps boost a child's attention span.
