On Feb. 20th, American author, Richard Louv gave a public lecture at the University of Victoria based on his best-selling book: "Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder." This vitally-important lecture is presented in its entirety.
Louv's presentation began with a challenge to Canadians: to move more quickly than the United States in re-uniting children with nature. Following his lecture, a group of approximately 60 educators and activists gathered for a two day workshop at Royal Roads University to brainstorm a response to this challenge.
