Growing the Future: Leveraging
Technology to Connect Families
with Nature
Objectives
• Change perceptions that technology limits exposure to
nature
– Demonstrate that nature can be put in the hands of technology
to provide better access and connection to nature
• Demonstrate that nature is a critical component in the
development of the whole child
• Gain familiarity with naturerocks.org and
natureworkseverywhere.org sites and their offerings
• Highlight the simplicity of the solution to an
environmental challenge the category faces
Background
Experiences in nature as a
child significantly impact
support for the environment
as an adult.
• Direct experience with nature
is the most highly cited
influence on attitude and
activism.
Childhood participation with
“wild” nature (e.g., hiking,
camping, playing in the woods)
had a significant, positive effect
on adult attitudes and
behaviors.
Family experiences in nature
are the top source cited that
leads to commitment to
environmental protection as an
adult.
Nature Does a Body Good
Evidence shows that nature improves the lives of
kids
• Outdoor play, nature experiences provide benefits via
improved cognitive functioning, self-discipline, emotional well-
being and reduced ADD symptoms
Time spent in nature is declining
• Overscheduled kids and parents
• Homework
• Discomfort with nature itself
• Technology
• US children spend about 30 minutes/week of
unstructured time outdoors compared to nearly 53
hours/week spent using screens
The lack of time that children spend in nature
concerns the general public and parents.
• 82% of US parents feel that time spent in nature is
very important to their child’s development
Being in nature is essential to a well-
balanced day for children, akin to drinking
milk, reading or using a computer.
Nature in the hands of
Technology
Concern around lack of time spent
in nature, in particular around the
perceived trade-off for
technologically inspired activities
Technology can be used to drive
the outdoor experience and
children’s interaction with nature
while Nature Rocks, a hands-on
online platform, provides families
with the tools they need to easily
immerse themselves in nature.
Using technology to drive the outdoor experience
A digitally based hands-on learning resource that inspires and
empowers families with young children to play and explore together in
nature.
