We are excited that the No Child Left Inside Act is likely to be voted on by the House of Representatives in September. This comes after the NCLI Act won strong bipartisan support in the House Education and Labor Committee earlier this summer. Full House approval will be a great sign that members of Congress strongly support environmental education. This backing has grown because our representatives in Washington have heard again and again from people and organizations across the country who believe it is important to get children outside to learn and explore their natural world.

With the House now in August recess, we have a great opportunity for members of the NCLI Coalition to continue to spread the word about the need for high-quality environmental education directly to House members and the public.
