Ken Finch, President and founder of Green Hearts Institute for Nature in Childhood (Green Hearts Inc.), a new nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing children and nature back together, will make presentations at three forums across the state in March.

He will present programs--

· March 12: Saint Vincent College, Latrobe, PA at 7:00 p.m.;

· March 13: Pennsylvania College of Technology, Williamsport at PA 7:00 p.m.; and

· March 15: Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA at 7:00 p.m..

Ken's discussion will be based on Richard Louv's book, The Last Child in the Woods. He will lead participants in considering how nature deficit leads to problems in children's health and well-being, as we look for solutions.

Parents, childcare providers, youth leaders, educators, and all those interested in the future of conservation are encouraged to attend. A panel discussion will follow his talk. Refreshments provided.
