Research from many studies over multiple decades suggests that connecting with nature improves physical and mental health in children and adults. However, access to green spaces is unevenly distributed throughout New Jersey, leading to inequitable health outcomes for children lacking opportunities to benefit from nature. Funding through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has enabled New Jersey Audubon to spearhead the New Jersey Children in Nature Coalition that serves as the education, outreach, and engagement engine for children’s outdoor learning and to galvanize groups around this critical issue.
