SUMMARY:Understand Your Community’s Resources Through a Landscape Scan (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for ways to better understand your community’s assets and opportunities to further children and nature strategies? If so\, then mapping your community’s landscape can further your efforts by better understanding the local resources\, assets\, gaps and barriers to connect children to nature. \nJoin our December Peer Learning Network event\, where our presenters will share strategies to help you build a clearer picture of where you can make the most impact. Conducting a landscape scan of relevant policies\, stakeholders\, programs and experiences will help you better understand the assets\, opportunities\, resources and barriers in your community. We will be joined by team members from Nature Everywhere Communities who will share their first hand experience and lessons learned. \nThis activity is an important Coalition Builder action as part of the Nature Everywhere Communities Action Challenge. If you are interested in expanding children’s access to nature and are doing a landscape scan\, consider joining the Action Challenge in order to gain recognition for your actions. \nThis capacity building event is part of the Nature Everywhere Communities initiative\, a joint partnership between The Children & Nature Network\, National League of Cities and KABOOM! to increase equitable access to nature everywhere children live\, learn and play in 100 U.S. communities by 2025. \nWho should attend? Ideally\, anyone looking to increase children’s access to nature in their community and are curious about the Nature Everywhere Communities Action Challenge. If you’re unsure about how your local goals may align with the Action Challenge\, or aren’t sure if your cross-sector team might be eligible\, contact Christian at christian@childrenandnature.org. \nLearn more about the Action Challenge and how to register at www.childrenandnature.org/nature-everywhere-action-challenge. \nIn partnership with:

SUMMARY:Nature Everywhere Community Action Challenge Information Session (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informal session to discuss how your community can become a Nature Everywhere Community through the Action Challenge. Nature Everywhere staff will give an overview of the Action Challenge process and will answer any of your questions. This session will provide an introductory overview of how your community can be recognized for advancing children and nature strategies. This informational session is not required to register for the Action Challenge but we recommend communities watch to gain a better understanding of the expectations. \nNature Everywhere Communities builds on what we’ve learned from the Cities Connecting Children to Nature initiative\, through which municipal leaders have been advancing equitable access to nature since 2014. Nature Everywhere Communities is an expansion of this work\, recognizing that we need leaders from city government\, education\, nonprofits\, philanthropy\, community organizations and the private sector to drive systems-level change. \nWho should attend? Ideally\, the three individuals who will make up the cross-sector team will attend or watch the session. However\, we recommend at least one individual from the team attend. \nLearn more about the Action Challenge at www.childrenandnature.org/nature-everywhere-action-challenge \nIn partnership with:
