Join us to learn how to measure progress in changing the conditions that keep cities from providing equitable access to nature for children.

This third and final session in the three-part series continues to explore the ways cities and community leaders can change long-standing conditions of inequity to achieve more equitable access to nature for all children. Building on content from the first two sessions, participants will increase fluency and understanding of the systems change framework. They will also explore how to measure progress towards more equitable access to nature. The session will introduce CCCN measurement tools that participants can use to keep track of progress and next steps towards change.

The session will be co-facilitated by Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN), a national partnership of NLC and C&NN, Success Measures, a CCCN partner focused on measurement, and the National Recreation and Parks Association, a partner of this learning series. Panelists will include representatives from CCCN cities sharing experiences utilizing the measurement tools.

Objectives: 

1. Build fluency and grasp of 6 conditions of systems change [continued]
2. Identify methods for measuring progress in changing systems conditions that lead to increasing equitable access to nature 
3. Explore tools for measuring and implementing best practices that enhances children’s equitable access to nature

About the series:

We know that nature makes kids healthier, happier and smarter. Unfortunately, not all kids have the same access to nature and green spaces. Longstanding conditions, such as policies, power dynamics, resource allocations and systemic racism create unequal access to nature’s benefits, particularly for kids of color and from low-income communities. Achieving real and lasting change requires a community-based approach to dismantling systems of inequity, or in other words, a systems change approach. 

This series will dive into how cities and their local partners can use a systems change approach to connect children to nature more equitably. The 3-part series includes two informative webinars that serve as a foundation for understanding a systems change framework followed by an interactive workshop for participants to apply the insight gained.
