Reasons for getting outside with Naturebag!
1.Engagement with the Natural World
The natural world offers a vitalizing alternative to the activities and distractions of the modern world. Naturebag prompts hands on, curiosity led explorations and encourages engagement with and respect for the natural world.
2.Future Stewards of the Planet
There is no better reason for helping children develop a positive relationship with the natural environment or we risk future generation's being alienated from nature. A Nature Conservancy funded study found that direct experience with nature is the most highly cited influence on environmental attitude and conservation activism.
3.Physical and Psychological Well-being
Play and interaction with the natural world has been seen to help calm a person both physically and mentally.
In a world where electronics play such a large part in children's lives, staying connected with the outdoors is all the more important to maintain a psychological and spiritual balance. As one 4th Grader was quoted in the book 'Last Child in the Woods' by Richard Louv.
