“Wetlands and Wonder: Reconnecting Children with Nearby Nature”
This short video presenting a passionate case for protecting urban wetlands as places to experience nature—thereby improving the health of our children and our communities was produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and focuses on urban and suburban wetlands as valuable resources to be restored, protected and enjoyed. The absence of everyday connections to nature has negative effects—especially for children.
