Vitamin N
by Richard Louv
Five hundred practical ways to get children and adults outside, from the author who coined 'nature-deficit disorder': backyard projects, urban nature, family adventures, schools and communities. It is a toolkit, not an argument.
Read it if…
you agree you should be outside more and want ideas.
Skip it if…
you want the case; see Last Child in the Woods.
Three things you will actually use
- Nature is a nutrient; dose it.
- Urban nature counts.
- Scheduled outdoors beats intended outdoors.
Do this first
Pick three activities and schedule them this month.
Our verdict
Five hundred ways outside.
