“Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature.”

RICHARD LOUV, Author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, and Co-founder of the Children & Nature Network
