Prescribing Nature: Connecting Children with Nature for Better Health

At the National Environmental Education Foundation, environmental educators, scientists and health care professionals are teaming up to reconnect children with nature. NEEF has launched a new initiative to educate pediatric health care providers about the health benefits of nature for children and is partnering with the National Audubon Society and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to provide accessible nature programs for their patients. The “Prescribing Nature: Connecting Children with Nature for Better Health” initiative has been endorsed by the National Forum on Children and Nature.
