I may be a long way from having kids myself, but this event sounds great. As part of the ParentMap lecture series, Richard Louv, best-selling author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorders, will speak at Town Hall Seattle on February 11, sharing his latest research on the child-nature relationship and how critical it is to replace screen time with green time for kids. Sightline readers can get a $3 discount on tickets, too, with the code SI2014. Buy tickets.
