Just for Kids
The future needs adults who have an understanding of the natural world and know how to make wise environmental decisions. In order to become those adults, the kids of today have to spend time outdoors playing and learning. Parents, teachers and youth leaders fill a vital role in providing enjoyable and educational outdoor opportunities for children and youth.
National forests are the ultimate "outdoor classroom," with natural processes and human activities interacting in all sorts of interesting ways.
The Forest Service wants to encourage more kids to go outdoors by having fun, being healthy and learning more about nature. This can instill awareness in young people, who may then value public lands, seek careers in natural resources and land management, and enthusiastically participate in outdoor activities.
