What: Do you support connecting children to nature? Arlington Children and Nature Network (CANN), an alliance of Arlington agencies, departments, organizations, businesses, and individuals, was established in December 2009 to do just that. Join Arlington County Board Chairman Jay Fisette and Arlington CANN members on February 24 to launch this campaign to gather 1,000 supporters by Earth Day 2010. Nature activities and crafts will be offered. Refreshments will be served.
With your help, Arlington CANN fulfill its four key goals -- facilitating the use of Arlington's outdoor spaces by children of all ages; fostering increased opportunities and time for unstructured play; working to make more safe, secure, accessible, and appealing places for outdoor play; and raising awareness in our community about the consequences of "nature deficit disorder."
