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 region have access to outdoor spaces where they can learn, play, and grow.  East Bay Children & Nature is also working to increase opportunities for outdoor recreation, expand nature programming at our schools and community center,  and regularly hosts Nature Pop-ups at parks and community gardens!
