Episode 18 - Kids in Nature

Turtle Talks with the Garden Crew

We had a blast this episode as we welcomed Michelle Hoefs and Nora Woodworth, both from the Sustainability & Stewardship branch of HDT. We talked about the nationwide concern of children not being engaged in nature and the outdoors. We discuss likely culprits, the importance of unstructured play time, what the benefits are, and organizations that can help.
