A program intended to insure that American Children have the opportunity to experience the great outdoors, builds on a Forest Service tradition of conservation and education.   “The challenges associated with climate change and water will not be resolved in a few years. It will take generations. Kids must understand why forests are so valuable so they will grow into citizens who support conservation,” according to USFS.

Educators, parents—and resource managers—are increasingly concerned with the growing disconnect between children and nature, and the kind of future we are creating for our children.  The Forest Service has a tremendous number of ongoing activities to help connect children with nature.  >Learn More via http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/conservationeducation/about/?cid=fsmrs_100571
