MN Children and Nature Connection
MN Children and Nature Connection (MN CNC) works to connect children and families to nature through education programs, parks, green schoolyards and nature start libraries. In the spring of 2023, the Nature-Based Early Childhood Program Assessment and Guidebook was released. This is a free download through MN Children and Nature Connection to support programs and educators in their quest to incorporate nature into their early learning programs.

From 2021-2023, I worked with a team of other early childhood professionals to create resources for early childhood educators focused on outdoor and nature-based learning. These resources are all accessible and free through MDE.
