Last Child in the Woods

Season 24 Episode 8 | 26m 46s | CC

More than ever, getting our children (and us!) outside is essential. Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, The Nature Principle and Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life, examines nature-deficit disorder and how it impacts us. On tour, Deborah Paradez and Frank Guridy turned lawn into organic food when their daughter was born, thanks to Randy Jewart of Resolution Gardens.
