Cities Connecting Children to Nature

An ongoing partnership between the Children & Nature Network and the National League of Cities, called Cities Connecting Children to Nature is breaking down that barrier by bringing nature to children, regardless of where they live. The Imperial Beach Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is one of 15 new cities in 2022 that will “join a national peer network of 32 other cities working to increase access to nature for all children while helping them learn, play and grow with nature as a key part of their daily lives." 

When cities become places of nearby nature connection, children, families and the environment thrive. - Children and Nature Network
