  • Connecting youth with nature: The Bicentennial Nature Center Network at Conner Prairie’s Treetop Outpost

    Norman Burns, President and CEO, Conner Prairie

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational

Just as concerning, the average American child today spends at least 45 hours a week staring at some kind of electronic screen which has led to the appearance of what some are calling ‘nature-deficit disorder’ in many children. MORE >

    Along with expanding its outdoor programming opportunities, Cope Environmental Center, located in Centerville, Ind., has been reaching out across the state to ensure that every child in Indiana is within 60 miles of a partner nature center that will provide environmental education and creative outdoor experiences.

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement

    The downside, it has created a new path for bad habits and stress to take over. It has provided a space where people can be negative and hurtful to other people with little consequence. It has opened the door to create bad habits that help raise our stress level and anxiety. It’s important to find the balance between our face-paced world and finding time to shut down (creating 'white space') and focus on taking care of one’s self by reducing stress and creating positive change in our lives.
