Welcome to Be Out There™
Be Out There™ - the National Wildlife Federation's initiative to inspire families across America to open the door and get outside! A daily dose of the outdoors improves children’s physical, mental and emotional well-being. Join the Be Out There movement to get children outside, connecting to nature. The benefits of outdoor play are real: healthier kids with a life-long appreciation of wildlife and nature.
Back to School shouldn't mean back indoors for children. NWF's new report TIME OUT: Using the Outdoors to Enhance Classroom Performance highlights research linking time kids spend outside to increased classroom success.
