Getting kids into nature

Children who connect with nature grow into adults who care about protecting it.

Sylvie de Sousa and Katharine Byers are two Vancouver Moms who’ve put together a bag of tricks sure to nurture eco-consciousness in any kid (and, hopefully, prevent the onset of what Richard Louv calls “nature deficit disorder”). They helped us put together activities to turn kids into bird watchers and protectors for our November newsletter.

    This is wonderful.So near to my heart. I feel that a lot of our problems at the moment are due to this disconnect.
    I have found in my work in Therapeutic art, that it is not just the children who need this. There are adults, lost and unable to come back to the earth, because they just don’t know how.
    I would love to help you.
    Sincerely,Wendy
