Last Child in the Prairie

Speaker:

Marian Langan, Director Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center

Thursday, May 8
7:00 PM

Richard Louv's book Last Child in the Woods has brought much-needed attention to the connections between time spent outdoors and children's healthy development.

For those of us in Eastern Nebraska, experiencing nature in our native ecosystem, the tallgrass prairie, can be difficult to do since so little remains. This presentation will share how the work of Wachiska and SCPAC has made a difference.
