 News Bulletin!

Last year, the Conservation Fund, a leading environmental nonprofit, convened a group of national leaders and formed a National Forum on Children and Nature. Recognizing an urgent need, the Forum sought to identify demonstration projects that would serve as innovative models for community leaders, planners, educators and others who want to take concrete steps locally to connect children with nature.

The Forum received 560 proposals from projects seeking endorsement, and ultimately, selected 30 projects, based on relevance, impact, sustainability and potential for success. The Fairchild Challenge was recently named one of the 30 selected projects. By endorsing the Fairchild Challenge, the Conservation Fund's National Forum on Children and Nature celebrates its relevance, impact and sustainability.
