An invitation for any local natural leaders to join me in organizing and carrying out my 7th Annual Earth Day Celebration on Stinson Beach (Marin County, CA). Just posted it as a Let's G.O. event. See http://homepage.mac.com/zpine/ed/ed.html for details. Contact me via the address at that website.

Comment by Juliet Robertson on September 11, 2010 at 10:15am: I'm wondering if anyone can help me...

I'm on the hunt for any nomadic outdoor pre-schools - nature, forest, whatever! There's a huge issue over hand hygiene in Scotland happening and I've been asked (voluntarily) to find out what other nomadic outdoor pre-schools do in terms of managing hand hygiene (believe it or not).

These are pre-schools who have no fixed site but walk and visit a variety of different sites during the course of a week. The pre-schools need to operate 5 days per week. If you know of any such pre-school anywhere in the world, please let me know. They can be state run, private, playgroup but must operate daily.

Many many thanks!

Comment by Hanna Pinneo on July 7, 2010 at 11:55am: Thanks for helping us stay updated! Those of us that made it to Outdoor Nation participated in the biggest youth listening session. I have a group heading to the Nebraska listening session. I love what is going on!

Comment by Suz Lipman on July 6, 2010 at 10:18am: Hi Folks -- I hope you all know about the Public Listening Sessions on the President's Great Outdoors Initiative.

Comment by Leslie Cook on June 15, 2010 at 8:07am: I'm headed out there and there are about 10 other Natural Leaders joining the bigger group of 500 youth that will be in NYC for the Outdoor Nation Summit. It looks like it will be a great event!
