"The phrase 'go outside and play' sums up the summer experiences that many adult Americans fondly remember. But today's kids rarely hear these four words. The sad reality is that American childhood has moved indoors. Meanwhile, our kids face an epidemic of childhood obesity and a troubling disconnect with nature."

Eliza Russell will share solution to connect our children to nature, and ourselves at the same time. She will offer encouragement for parents to take action within our communities, at the state level, and at the national Level. - Kevin Coyle, Vice President for Education at NWF
