There has been a lot of talk about the issue of nature deficit, that kids simply aren't spending time outdoors any more. The research is certainly telling us that this is the trend.
The National Wildlife Federation's report, "Connecting Today's Kids with Nature: A Policy Action Plan," is an exciting resource for those that want to take action and find policy solutions in their community, state or even at the federal level.
There are tons of great ideas in this report for taking action close to home, in your community, in your state and at the national level. The policy solutions raised in the report range from teaming up with local law enforcement to working with public health and social service agencies on the state level to supporting action on the federal level by passing legislation to support hands-on environmental educaiton.
