What a great, and inspiring, story of connecting with nature! Well deserved accomplishment Jason!!

Throughout a 23-year career, Jason Stout has focused on helping children and families find a path to healing by building a bridge between grief support and the transformative benefits of outdoor adventures and learning.

On May 31, Children & Nature Network awarded Stout the 2024 Richard Louv Prize in recognition of his life’s work — and his dedication to removing barriers and expanding opportunities for individuals to connect with nature.

“Grief is the most disruptive experience we can have,” Jason said at the Nature Everywhere Conference, where he accepted the prize, “but nature is the most powerful, transformative medicine — and the healthiest, without any side effects. Except for a few scratches, right? And those are actually good for us.”

The Richard Louv Prize was created in 2021 to honor the visionary leadership of Children & Nature Network co-founder and celebrated author, Richard Louv. This annual $15,000 cash prize is open to any individual, anywhere in the world, and is designed to recognize innovative strategies for creating regular access to the benefits of nature.
