Environmental Education Report Growing Popularity--Birding! Leave No Trace - Principles Outdoor Skills and Ethics Something Fishy--Fish Lesson Plan No Child Left Inside On April 22, 2009 the U.S. Senate and House bills introduced the "No Child Left Inside Act of 2009." The bills would provide $100 million in new grants to schools that have adopted environmental literacy plans to provide environmental and outdoor educational opportunities for students and professional development for teachers. No Child Left Inside makes a strong argument for getting children outdoors so that they can learn about their natural environment. Being outside can enhance children's creativity and critical thinking skills. Environmental topics such as air quality, energy conservation, wildlife protection, become real and help children become better stewards of their environment. General reading Last Child in the Woods, author Richard Louve, was the recipient of the 2008 Audubon Metal for his research and book about this topic. Click here to visit the author's website. A Natural Sense of Wonder, author Rick Van Noy, has written a series of essays about enjoying the outdoors with his children and why nature matters. Click here to visit the author's website.
