Hiking with Kids

	The Children & Nature Network is leading the movement to connect all children, their families and communities to nature through innovative ideas, evidence-based resources and tools, broad-based collaboration and support of grassroots leadership. childrenandnature.org
	The Ontario Children's Outdoor Charter aims to get children outside to discover the wonders of nature. Spending time outdoors is essential to every child's development, health and well-being. It builds a connection to our rich natural and cultural heritage. Kids connected to nature grow up caring for the Earth and helping to conserve biodiversity. childrensoutdoorcharter.ca
	Families get connected to a fun world of outdoor exploring — and to other families doing the same — via CWF's WILD Family Nature Club. It offers opportunities for semi-structured outdoor activities, and training for adults who'd like to involve their children more with the natural world. cwf-fcf.org/en/explore-our-work/connecting-with-nature/in-your-community/wild-family-nature-club/
