Marti joined Brandon Ezuck from Radio Disney and Josh Garubanda, program manager at Wilderness Inquiry, for an on-air "News You Can Use" interview about the importance of getting children connected to the outdoors. Research shows nature experience, or outdoor time, is connected to children's health, learning and development. Exploring and playing freely, and not just structured outdoor activities, are so beneficial. Listen to learn how time spent in nature can help children of all ages feel less stressed, less anxious and have fewer depressive symptoms. It can also help your children be better stewards of the environment!
