The Pacific Education Institute invites you to get up close with New York Times bestselling author of Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle Richard Louv at The Washington Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, January 26 at 7:30 pm.
Mr. Louv is the 2008 Audubon Medal awardee, a prestigious award from the National Audubon Society given in recognition of outstanding achievement in conservation and environmental protection. Fellow awardees include Walt Disney, Jimmy Carter, Rachel Carson, and Sir David Attenborough.
Creator of the term “nature-deficit disorder,” Mr. Louv will speak on the importance of nature for the health and well-being of both our children and our world, followed by a lengthy Q&A opportunity.
Mr. Louv’s books will be available for purchase in the lobby and he will be available to sign books after the event.
“Every child needs nature. Not just the ones with parents who appreciate nature. Not only those of a certain economic class or culture or set of abilities. Every child.” Richard Louv
This event is co-sponsored by the Cispus Learning Center and the Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP).
