Green Scenes Documentary Film & Discussion: "Mother Nature's Child"
The Simsbury Land Trust presents a documentary Film &
Discussion about nature’s powerful role in children’s health and development.
The film, “Mother Nature's Child”, marks a moment in time when a living
generation can still recall childhoods of free play outdoors through the
experience of toddlers, children in middle childhood, and adolescents. But this
will not be true for most children growing up today as the effects of
"nature deficit disorder" are being noted across the nation in
epidemics of child obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Admission
is free for everyone for this film and discussion that follows, thanks to
the sponsorship of Mary and Chris Baier and Fitzgerald’s
Foods. To reserve a seat, contact the Simsbury Land
Trust at (860) 651-8773 or amyzeiner@aol.com.
