As cities look to create equity in nature connection for children, we must create system-wide opportunities for children in schools and in out-of-school time. Children can gain the educational benefits of time in nature through a variety of strategies that include building partnerships between cities, schools, and youth-serving organizations. Through roundtable discussions and action planning, we will explore the ways that both environmental education and experiences in nature have many longlasting positive effects on child development.
