Feedback form is now closed.
Limited Capacity seats available
Connecting a new generation with nature can be a complex challenge, so where do we start? The Nature Playbook project comes from the belief that no single person, policy, government department, organization, or program can do it alone. There are endless ways to connect with nature, as many ways as there are people in the world. The Nature Playbook emphasizes the importance of everyone knowing themselves, and connecting on their own terms.

The creators behind The Nature Playbook want to work with CNC 2017 attendees on the quest to reach outside traditional spheres of parks and conservation, to share our message with a wider audience. In this outdoor, interactive session, we will work together to come up with new ways to embody a culture-changing mindset, and tackle this challenge together as a team.
