Richard Louv, author and recipient of the 2008 Audubon Medal, identified a phenomenon we all knew existed but couldn't quite articulate: nature-deficit disorder. Since its initial publication, his book Last Child in the Woods has created a national conversation about the disconnection between children and nature, and his message has galvanized an international movement.

Join us on Thursday, November 5 at 7pm for a special evening with Mr. Louv.  He will share his passion for reconnecting children with nature and answer questions about how we can help Dallas’s children have a brighter future by creating happier, healthier and smarter kids! A book signing will follow the lecture.
