This is where our member organizations will post priority announcements of SPECIAL events, speaker appearances, health-related nature advisories, and other information of interest to those involved in place-based nature education for children.

The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) is partnering with the movie production company that developed the motion picture entitled “Where The Wild Things Are” to launch a national campaign called “Be Out There”. This campaign is dedicated to connecting kids and their families with nature at home, at schools, and in their communities. For more information about this campaign (including a parent/teacher guide, and an available poster) [click here].http://www.nwf.org/BeOutThere/shapeimage_3_link_0
