The research is clear: nature makes kids healthier, happier, and smarter! 

Spending time outdoors, in nature, is essential for children’s healthy development. Our goal is nature in every neighborhood and every park, to ensure all children in our city have access to outdoor spaces where they can learn, play, and grow.  Emeryville Children & Nature is also working to increase opportunities for outdoor recreation, expand nature programming at our schools and community center,  and is currently hosting a series of nature pop-ups at our city parks and community gardens!
