• Be Out There™ - A "daily dose" of the outdoors is essential to the physical, mental, and emotional health of America's children, yet the average child spends just 30 minutes per week in unstructured outdoor activities. National Wildlife Federation is mobilizing families, educators, healthcare practitioners, and others to encourage children to spend more time outdoors. Learn more at www.nwf.org/beoutthere.
