The Children & Nature Network organisation started by Richard
Louv, author of "Last Child in the Woods". Read the blurb below
and click on the link should you wish to visit and even sign up!

The central idea behind the Natural Teachers Network (NTN)tm is
to offer a virtual meeting place for teachers of all disciplines
and all age groups to meet and share ideas, successful activities
to connect children with nature, frustrations, and just connect
with like-minded teachers who understand the importance of
connecting children with the natural world to improve mental and
physical health, cognitive capacity, and overall well-being.
Richard Louv has frequently had teachers come up to him after his
presentations saying they feel alone in their school and district
in wanting to get kids in their classrooms outside. This will
help solve that problem.

The virtual meeting place will be established on the Children &
Nature Network's new social networking site called C&NN CONNECT,
which you can reach at http://childrenandnature.ning.com
