…Natural Leaders is an initiative of the Children & Nature Network, a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 to reconnect kids to nature in an increasingly disconnected world. Each leader nurtures that connection in their own way by increasing outdoor access in their home communities. To join the network, participants must first attend Legacy Camp, a regional multiday training that introduces the basic tenets of outdoor leadership and community organizing. Between breakout sessions and team-building activities, attendees develop a plan of action for making an impact back home–by volunteering with a local nonprofit, for example, or lobbying their representatives for increased green space.
