If you are in town during our Spring Break, please join our Ecoliteracy Coordinator, Michel Anderson, & WSB staff members for this exciting event taking place at Notre Dame of Maryland University on Tuesday, March 18th at 7 to 8:30pm. Admission is FREE.
Richard Louv is a journalist and author of eight books about the connections between family, nature and community. His newest book, The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder, offers a new vision of the future in which our lives are as immersed in nature as they are in technology, resulting in better psychological, physical and spiritual health for people of all ages. His bestselling Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder has stimulated an international conversation about the relationship between children and nature.

Down on the Farm: Day 5
Another day, another spiral…

Monday Hike
Passion does not arrive on a videotape or a CD; passion is personal. Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along the grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature.
~ Richard Louv, excerpt from Last Child in the Woods, p.159
