Education Policy
Keeping science in schools and getting students outside to explore, learn and play are important for our children’s future. Environmental education, physical education and the overall health and well-being of students improve through outdoor time and experiential or hands-on learning. NWF is working at the Federal and State levels to keep nature, the outdoors and our children’s health at the center of policy reform and change.
