On Saturday, Poko had the opportunity to participate in the "Spring Outside" event at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake. The event was organized by the Children and Nature Network, a network of organizations dedicated to reconnecting children (and adults!) to the natural world. The keynote speaker at the event was Richard Louv, the author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder. More than 25 organizations were represented at the event. We were honored to be among those organizations, and we got the chance to talk to a lot of wonderful people. 
The staff who went to the event also enjoyed doing some of the activities that were part of the event. In this photo, Liz is using a bow drill to start a fire at "101 Uses for Plants." We also loved seeing the otters get fed, playing field games, and meeting a porcupine.
