HELP CHILDREN IN YOUR COMMUNITY THRIVE

The evidence is clear: spending time outdoors, in nature, is essential for
children’s healthy development. From improving academic and social-emotional
learning, to supporting physical and mental health, children thrive when they
have frequent access to outdoor spaces, experiences and learning.

The Children & Nature Network, National League of Cities and KABOOM! are
partnering to increase equitable access to nature everywhere children live,
learn and play in 100 U.S. communities by 2025.

PROVEN RESULTS

Through Cities Connecting Children to Nature, municipal leaders have been
advancing equitable access to nature since 2014. Nature Everywhere Communities
is an expansion of this work, recognizing that we need leaders from city
government, education, nonprofits, philanthropy, community organizations and the
private sector to drive systems-level change. Check out these community success
