Engaging Children & Families in Nature & the Outdoors

Why Children & Families?

Nebraska has 456,585 citizens under 18 years old... 25% of the total population

216,217 family households with children under 18 years old

The “customers” are there, but is there a need?

YES! Informal education is one of the main ways students learn... Especially science and environmental topics

So, now we have the “customers” and the “need,” but what about the “how?”
