I read an article Tuesday from the New York Times News Service published in the Indianapolis Star. In it author Richard Louv is credited with coining the term "nature-deficit disorder". The article, Kids today losing touch with nature, laments "society's whole attitude that nature isn't important anymore."
By creating Raccoon Creek Community I dearly hope to encourage our grandchildren, and lots of other children, to visit and learn where food comes from, that spiders are OK, that the woods are not to be feared, that every person and creature has a place and a right to it, that things that do not plug in can be fun too, that there are still places to just be a kid.
