Strategies for improving digitally-attached youths' Connections to Nature
People of all ages are spending less time connecting with nature and more time engaging with digital media. Connection to Nature (CTN), the connection a person feels to the natural world, has been linked to pro-environmental attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors. It has been identified as a critical component of childhood development and wellbeing. Nature-based experiences, activities that take place in or are centered around nature, are key to developing CTN, especially for children and young adults.
