Richard Louv: "Vitamin N"

Ten years ago this week, Michael sat down with "Last Child In The Woods" author Richard Louv to explore the growing disconnect between children and the natural world—and why it matters more than ever. Louv's book discussed here is "Vitamin N: The Essential Guide To A Nature-Rich Life." He shares research on the physical, mental, and academic benefits of time spent outdoors, while offering practical, affordable ways families can reconnect with nature. From backyard adventures to rethinking schools and cities, this conversation is a compelling call to get outside and rediscover the power of the natural world. Original air date 12 April 2016. The book was published on 12 April 2016.
