We've made a change on C&NN Connect and want to be sure you stay connected!
Please take a few minutes to join the Local Grassroots Campaign Coordinators group on C&NN Connect. That is our place to share success stories, confer about challenges, seek answers, find support, spark ideas and move the movement!
You can find it here:
http://childrenandnature.ning.com/group/local-grassroots-campaign-coordinators
Even if you were a member of this group, you will need to sign yourself up for the new Grassroots group.
This will allow all of the news and sharing about our Grassroots efforts to occur in one place. To avoid any confusion, this group will be removed.
We look forward to continuing the conversation!
For those who coordinate or convene -- as a staff person or volunteer -- a community, state or regional children in nature grassroots campaign, to share success stories, confer about challenges, seek answers, find support, move the movement.

Hello everyone! I would like to pass along a program that I am launching that may be of interest to you. Please check out The 7th Generation School at www.7thgenerationschool.com.
I spent many years as a teacher working with at-risk youth as well as those diagnosed with emotional and behavioral disorders. I have also recently been a wilderness guide/substance abuse counselor for a wilderness treatment center for young adults. For many years I have been formulating this program out of my constant question, "What can I do?" This program is my answer and humble offering to the planet.
The 7th Generation School is a supplementary program (to a regular or homeschool curriculum) that not only connects youth with the natural world around them but also with the natural world that exists within them. It is a therapeutic wilderness program (and more) for youth who need something more than what the schools offer. Our intention is to provide a holistic and eco-centered supplement to our youth so that they may become their vision and purpose in the world.
I hope we get to connect soon!
Hi Folks.
Many thanks to Marilyn Wyzga, New Hampshire Children in Nature Coalition, for starting this group. Marilyn and many others will be leading and participating in our discussion of Leadership at the Grassroots level in a new group, called Local Grassroots Campaign Coordinators. Please join us there:

The 10/5 NH Children in Nature Conference, led Marilyn Wyzga and featuring speakers Stephen Kellert and David Sobel, looks wonderful and very affordable. I hope it's great. Marilyn, let us know how it goes!

Hi,
We are in our third year and a few very simple tactics we use:
1. In the field, we track the attendance and have a goal to increase both retention and also bring in new faces
2. When we run clinics in the stores we get feedback readily from the managers and employees from both an educational perspective (if an employee doesn't have a child but they observe what we're doing and take our Chipper Tips we receive comments of how this is helping them better communicate with customers they are trying to outfit for outdoor experiences.
Virtually - we run analytics on our site and see where the greatest traffic is coming from, sign ups from our social media endeavors, open rates from emails and click throughs to content.
Are you running any analytics on your site? And do you utilize emails for communication? There are some tools readily available to you.
Happy to chat more about this directly and share our findings.
Cheers!
