We don't necessarily need to travel far to enjoy nature. And we know that the more time a child spends in nature, the more likely they are to grow up to be good stewards of our planet-anĮnvironmental win! Nature is all around us. There is scientific evidence that playing outside improves health, and children of all ages love it. No matter what the weather brings, playing outside is good for kids.
