Team Mission Spread the message that children and adults are healthier, happier and smarter when they are connected to nature by spending more time outdoors. (We also seek to connect this message with other DRG task group efforts and be receptive to their messages as well.) 2015 accomplishments We hosted discussions and investigated tool creation needed to launch a pilot for Connections to Nature Sites. And we strengthened the capacity of the MVLNCI organization. 2016 Goals, Launch the Connection to Nature Site Certification Pilot for school, parks and Libraries. Measure progress with numbers of schools, parks and libraries who have completed the bronze level or above certification. Volunteers joining our team will be welcomed into the Miami Valley Leave No Child Inside Movement. Metric One Count number of new signatories to Ohio Leave No Child Inside’s Ohio Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights including places of worship, schools, park districts, businesses etc. in addition to public municipalities. Signatories of endorsement of these rights will be added to a database and given a poster to display their endorsement
enable these rights with bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels. The levels will be earned by taking any one of these actions with each action taken earning the progressions of certification. Metric Two Measurement of locations and quality of the access to nature opportunities within the community.
