About

In 2014 the first National Children's Day UK 2014 focused on reconnecting children with nature and we launched the Children's Outdoor Charter of Rights.

Our aims

We aim to promote and protect children's natural developmental right to have access to the wonders of the natural world

and, in so doing, to nurture the social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing of children, their families and their communities.

“Passion does not arrive on videotape or on a CD; passion is personal. Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young, it travels along grassstained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature.
 
— Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, 2005
