Idaho Children & Nature Network: Statewide Public Awareness
( 1 hour session, Northstar Room)
Presented by Meggan Laxalt Mackey and Vicky Runnoe
Children are spending less time outdoors today. This has profound effects on their physical, mental and emotional health, as well as the health of our lands. The Idaho Children and Nature Network was formed to raise awareness of this problem. This citizen-based coalition is working to empower Idahoans to lead healthy lives by developing a sense of place in Idaho’s outdoors. The Network’s mission is to “Connect children with nature in Idaho from backyards to mountaintops.” Join Network representatives at this session, and learn about Idaho’s progress to connect children and nature in our communities.

Does the Idaho Children and Nature Network have a web site address I can look at now, before the Summit?
