At Wilderness Awareness School, we believe our mission and classes are part of the “cure” for nature deficit disorder, and we have organized an evening roundtable discussion on the topic with a group of six national experts.

Join us to discuss this important issue with some of Seattle’s leading outdoor and environmental educators and organizations. Please bring your questions and concerns to this crucial conversation about Nature Deficit Disorder.
Our Panel of Experts include:
Martin Le Blanc: National Youth Education Director, Sierra Club; Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Children and Nature Network
John Chilkotowsky: Program and Marketing Director, Wilderness Awareness School; WA State Regional Coordinator for the Children and Nature Network
Gail Gatton: Center Director, Seward Park Environmental & Audubon Center
Darcy Ottey: Excecutive Director, Rites of Passage Journeys
Erica Nixon Mack: Program Director, Passages Northwest
Jourdan Keith: Founder and Director, Urban Wilderness Project
