Plenty of folks worry that today’s children don’t get to spend much time outdoors, and that such an existence harms their health, including physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.
A group called N.C. CAN! (North Carolina Children and Nature) is holding its second annual gathering tomorrow, Feb. 18, at the N.C. Zoo.
The group is one of many inspired by Richard Louv’s writings, “Leave No Child Inside,” and his book “Last Child in the Woods,” about what he dubs “nature-deficit disorder.”
For more information about the gathering or N.C. CAN!, contact Kathy Bull at kbull@nczoo.com or 336-879-7286.
