Kids do better outside!

Children, Cities, Nature and the Planet: Joining the Dots

Tim’s talk will show how planning, design and culture change can create healthier, greener, more liveable neighbourhoods, and why a ‘children’s lens’ is a powerful catalyst for change in towns and cities.  Dr Dimity Williams is a mother, nature lover and family doctor. She is the author of Nature, Our Medicine: How the natural world sustains us. Passionate about integrating nature into health care, Dimity delights in issuing nature prescriptions and believes nature play is essential for children.

Featuring over 180 events by more than 85 organisations across Victoria and beyond. Thanks to everyone who came and joined us as we celebrated connection to the natural world.

Welcome to the Kids In Nature Network.
 

Being outdoors and in nature is good for us. It makes us happier, healthier, more resilient and more caring.

Over the past decades, childhood has changed. Kids have moved indoors as screens have replaced green places.

We act to empower, connect and grow a cross-sectoral movement that gets kids back outside. Join us.
