Mother Nature

Don't miss your chance to hear author, journalist and 2008 Audubon Medal recipient Richard Louv speak at 7 pm tonight at the Dallas Arboretum's Rosine Hall. Louv, an expert on the connection between family, nature and community, wrote the national bestseller Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder, an inspiring work that proves children need nature as much as nature needs children. Come listen to him share his passion for reconnecting children with their natural surroundings and answer questions about how we can help Dallas' kids have a brighter future by creating happier, healthier and smarter children.
