Minnesota Children and Nature Connection

Minnesota Children and Nature Connection is a statewide movement created to build awareness of the social, emotional and health benefits of connecting children and families to nature. MN CNC provides a critical link between individuals, institutions, organizations and industries by providing a forum in which to share research, best practices and models of engagement, as well as to celebrate related success stories. The MN CNC initiative is supported by the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association (MNRPA).

"If you go with long-term significance, my pick for the top story of not only 2009 but also of the 21st Century is the pandemic of Nature Deficit Disorder, a term so aptly coined by Richard Louv in his best-selling outdoor book, Last Child in the Woods...."
— Bill Schneider, NewWest.Net

“Concerns about long-term consequences—affecting emotional well-being, physical health, learning abilities, environmental consciousness—have spawned a national movement to ‘leave no child inside.’ In recent months, it has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grassroots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a ‘green hour’ in each day.”
— Washington Post, June 2007

“The movement to reconnect children to the natural world has arisen quickly, spontaneously, and across the usual social, political, and economic dividing lines.”
— Orion magazine, March/April 2007
