Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, started this nonprofit to "take action to create a future in which all children play, learn and grow with nature in their everyday lives". His concern about the lack of nature in a child's life ranges from obesity and mental health to a reduced appreciation leading to reluctance to be a steward of the wilderness. The website includes links to connect with the annual conference, with nature clubs, community organizations, natural leaders and organizations (all searchable on a world map). Examples include Michigan Nature Adventurers, Starry Sky Club and Northwoods Nature Club for Families.
