Over the past decade, we’ve seen the remarkable growth of a powerful movement. Across the U.S. and Canada and around the world, tens of thousands of people — parents, grandparents, pediatricians, teachers, and many others — are working to connect children, families and communities to the natural world. Richard Louv’s 2005 book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, has proven to be a useful tool in that movement. And though we’ve seen growing awareness of the need for greater connections with nature, many of the barriers between people and nature remain. We need to reduce those barriers, to make nature a part of everyday lives. Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life, Richard Louv’s new book, was written to encourage widespread, diverse and accessible action. As a companion handbook to Last Child and The Nature Principle,Vitamin N offers over 500 ideas to enrich the health and well-being of children and families in every kind of community.
