ASLA's Children’s Outdoor Environments Professional Practice Network Pledge your support to the proposed Children’s Outdoor Environments PPN within ASLA. The formation of this group requires maintaining a minimum of 30 founding members and adherence to Section 306 of the PPN Guidelines, which defines the Basic Standards of Member Service. Please refer to http://www.asla.org/about/ppnguidelines.htm if you would like further information regarding the Basic Standards of Member Services. The design of children's outdoor environments, reconnection with nature, health-related concerns, and other surrounding issues are increasingly gaining attention on a national and global level. Most recently, Richard Louv's book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, speaks to the value of spontaneous outdoor play, the connection with nature during childhood, and concerns with raising today's "plugged-in" youth. Landscape architects play a critical role in the process of advocating and providing a variety of places for children to play, learn, and develop a relationship with the natural environment. As professionals, we can help foster young stewards of natural environment. The Children's Outdoor Environments PPN is intended to focus on topics including nature-based play and learning environments; safety considerations; educational settings; urban environments; health care trends (including obesity, ADHD, and autism); plant selection; networking with other professionals and like-minded national organizations; and sharing literature, project examples, and experiences. MISSION STATEMENT for the Children’s Outdoor Environments PPN Support and promote the concept of quality, safe, nature-based children’s outdoor environments to educators, administrators, healthcare professionals, city officials, land developers and other key decision makers who are involved in shaping spaces that affect children and youth; and to share and disseminate knowledge and experience with others in the design fields.
