For Parents

Remember when playing outside and exploring the outdoors were your favorite pastimes? Make time in your child's life for unstructured play and interaction with the natural world - a daily Green HourTM - and improve their physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Research shows families and communities connected to nature raise healthier kids and inspire a life-long appreciation of wildlife and the environment. Start a new family tradition this year with National Wildlife Week.
