CCCN State & Regional Nature Connections Informational Session

Through Cities Connecting Children to Nature, an initiative of the Children & Nature Network and the National League of Cities, we have seen individual cities across the U.S. successfully implement policies and programs that connect more kids to the outdoors. What if we were to tap into the power of collaboration to bring groups of cities together for greater impact? We believe there is untapped potential for state and regional collaboratives working closely with city governments to leverage funding, advance policies, and share knowledge to bring nature’s benefits to more children.

The workshop is a prerequisite for application to the CCCN State & Regional Cohort, a 26-month engagement that includes technical assistance, funding, and peer learning for select regional organizations and collaboratives to support regional and state-wide strategies that engage municipal leaders in increasing equitable access to nature.
