Leave No Child Inside - Cache Valley
A new Cache Valley group was formed last June titled “Leave No Child Inside- Cache Valley.”
Its purpose is to confront “Nature Deficit Disorder,” a phrase coined by Richard Louv,
author of the transformative book “Last Child in the Woods.” The group consists of a
cross section of our community. Our main purpose is educating parents, teachers,
and all those who care for children on the necessity of reconnecting children with
nature at home, at school, and other appropriate youth programs. Safety concerns
will be addressed as well. You are welcome to join us by contacting Cindy Roberts
at 752-2161 or croberts@cachechamber.com.

Campaign
Millions of birds are killed each year in the United States by domestic cats. The American Bird Conservancy initiated the Cats Indoors program to help end the unnatural deaths and injuries of birds and to educate cat owners on the risks, not only for birds, but for the cats, on allowing them to roam free.
