With the help of our lead sponsors—the Sierra Club, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, The North Face, REI, and Outdoors Alliance for Kids (OAK)—we accomplished an unprecedented show of support for our mission to connect people and the outdoors. It is through the passion of each and every single member of the Children & Nature Network that we are able to create a cultural shift to embrace what Richard Louv calls “the nature principle” in our lives. We extend a special thank you to the members of the Let’s G.O.! Oversight Team, who carried the vision throughout the months leading up to April:

• Natural Leaders Leslie Cook, Tyrell Hughes and James King II
• Natural Leaders Rebecca Martin, Hanna Pinneo and Katia Rossi
• Janice Swaisgood, Family Adventures in Nature
• Ashley and Chip Donahue, Kids in the Valley Adventuring
• Carmen Field, Nature Rocks Homer
• Bob Wattendorf, Get Outdoors Florida
• Kathy Bull, North Carolina Children and Nature Coalition
• Herb Broda, Natural Teachers Network
• Kyle MacDonald, Bay Area Wilderness Training

Thanks also to the C&NN staff team; to our partners and sponsors; to Richard Louv, who so eloquently champions this issue; and to every single person out there who still looks at the stars and smiles.

We are a movement.
