I invite you all to watch this great talk from Dr. Cheryl Charles, President of the Children and Nature Network.
I’ve run an interview with Cheryl here before, and I always enjoy seeing her speak.
I love to think of this blog and the #playoutdoors community on Twitter as being a part of The Ecology of Hope. How cool is that?
Enjoy the talk!

How cool? WAY cool. :0) Thanks for sharing this, Bethe. Listened while I drank my morning coffee. Lots of nice takeaways, her warm energy among them. [Good vibes are contagious!] Happy day! –Kelly
