As a result of the recently published book Last Child in the Woods, by  
Richard Louv, many groups and organizations across the nation are  
searching for ways to reconnect children with nature.  The benefits to  
children of time spent outdoors are endless.  Spending time in natural  
settings is beneficial for physical and mental health, improving  
behavior, and faster learning.  In an effort to bring increased  
attention and support to this important issue, we are asking for your  
organization’s participation.


Please forward this email to your Iowa networks (colleagues,  
organizations, Listservs, websites, friends and family, students,  
etc.).  Encourage others to complete the online survey located at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=nYU56AJw5MLfcHiDiDzl3w_3d_3d


  With your help, we can identify the fundamental experiences that we  
believe children in Iowa should have in order to develop a healthy,  
active lifestyle.  Results obtained from the survey will be used to  
guide creation of an “Iowa Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights.”  This  
document will list the activities that Iowans recognize as invaluable  
experiences for our young people to have while growing up, along with  
a mission statement and goals for its use.


Your organization has been chosen to participate in this survey  
because of your commitment to developing healthy, active, responsible  
youth.  We appreciate your assistance in making this a successful  
state-wide project.
